Congrats to the National Center for Transgender Equality and others for the
successful National Lobby Day campaign last week!

Says NCTE: ***"On Tuesday, April 15, 2008 members of Congress from more
than 28 states received visits from transgender people and allies who talked
with them about the need for employment protections, hate crimes legislation
and the need for privacy and documentation rights. NCTE thanks all of the
wonderful transgender and allied people who took the time to come to
Washington DC to join us for this important effort...

* *As a staff, it was amazing to listen as people came back from visits,
empowered, filled with excitement, sharing what they had discussed with
their members of Congress. While it was a tiring day, it was also energizing
and incredibly valuable. We are so glad to be doing this work with you!"*
