Room 25, University of Minnesota Law School

Mara Keisling, Executive Director of the
National Center for
Transgender Equality is coming to the Twin Cities!
Please join us for a discussion with one of the most influential
leaders in the movement for Transgender equality in America. Transgender
issues affect everyone, and especially anyone who does not conform to
society's rigid stereotypes of maleness and femaleness.
Mara is traveling the country to talk to us and to listen to our
concerns. The evening will focus on issues of gender identity that
affect our daily lives; including ENDA, the federal hate crimes bill,
Social Security gender-record matching, the Real ID Act, and other
issues that challenge us.
Join Mara for the inside story of what really happened in the recent
Congressional battle regarding ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination
Act. Mara will share with us how United ENDA was able to create the one
of the most amazing advocacy campaigns in LGBT history.
- How and why were transgender people excluded from the employment
protection bill?
- Why is transgender inclusion a key issue for those who believe
in equal employment rights?
- What are organizations like NCTE doing about it?
- Most importantly, what can we all do about it locally?
The National Center for Transgender Equality NCTE is a 501(c)3 social
justice organization dedicated to advancing the equality of transgender
people through advocacy, collaboration and empowerment.
The center is the voice of transgender people in Washington D.C.
Come hear how NCTE works to make this voice heard by our legislators
and how you can help make this collective voice even louder.
Please invite your trans, gay, and straight friends - anyone who
would like to learn how laws and policies get changed, and who would
like to help make equality a reality for everyone. There will be time
for discussion after the presentation.
