We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Triangle Foundation.The short explanation of this alert was:
Legislation that would add protections for GLBT citizens to existing hate crimes legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. A vote is expected this week, National Crime Victims' Rights Week.
We need you to help in efforts to pass this important legislation.
The Matthew Shepard Act, also known as the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007, would finally recognize anti-gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender violence for what it is – a hate crime. Just as important, this bill recognizes that sexual minorities both need and deserve the same protections as other minorities.
Please take a moment today to write to our two U.S. Senators and to your U.S. Representative and urge them to support The Matthew Shepard Act.
Then, spread the word and ask your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to do the same.
