Inclusive ENDA Facebook organization
It has networking tools/help in contacting your representative and other stuff. The news page reads:
***If you would like to help in the education campaign, here is what we are asking you to do***
1. Sign up at http://bit.ly/10Ot47 to meet with your legislator in your district in August. You will need your Representative’s name, which you can find at http://votesmart.org.
2. Call your Senators and Representative to request their support of an inclusive ENDA that protects sexual orientation and gender identity from job discrimination. Contact your legislators by calling the U.S. Capitol at 202-224-3121. If you don’t know your legislators by name, give your zip code, and you will be connected. You can also find out at http://votesmart.org
3. Contact other unconfirmed Senators and Representatives by email, telephone or fax. Contact links for the Senate: http://bit.ly/45WGMc and for the House at http://bit.ly/NUFUd.
4. Post the results of your contacts on the Wall below (even if it’s just that you left a message). (Please use the Wall for information about your legislators only, and post other statements in the discussion section.)
5. Follow the discussion on Twitter by searching #enda

Anyway, I know who the officers are, and I know people have hard feelings toward a couple of them (at least), due to recent and not-so-recent events. But this isn’t about them, it’s about ENDA.
OMG, nobody say “cis” unless you wanna get cut out of ENDA again…

I’m glad that ENDA is going to include protection for gender expression/gender identity.
That will be a major boon to all the cis people who are victims of trans privilege in the workplace.

…so *that’s* why pam spaulding is involved with this FB group. (and consequently, why i won’t join it. i’m done enabling her power.)
i’m keeping my eye on the usual parties who will show their hands about throwing trans people off the bus. nothing so far, but many of the most avowed bus-tosser-offers are talking unity this year. i don’t trust them, but if they do the right thing maybe they’re finally engaging in contrition…barney frank.

Yeah, okay, I’d like to keep the conversation on ENDA and getting it passed. It’s not necessary to directly use Inclusive ENDA’s tools (like their signup sheet for arranging a meeting with a representative), but at least contact your representative.
I agree with algormortis about not trusting the usual parties at all.
