This workshop is aimed at providing information about the power of the Equality Act and how it is the piece of legislation that our intersectional movements for equity should be working to advance. It picks up the mantle of where the Civil Rights Act brought us in terms of expanding protections at the intersections of race, class, gender, sexual orientation and ability.

Our interactive session leaves space for Q+A throughout, including a basic civics lesson to help participants understand what it takes to push legislation in the federal arena, defining terms, understanding the current iteration of the Equality Act language and what we need to do to build the kind of movement that will have a fighting chance of passing the bill.
