Alameda County adopts resolution banning gender id discrim

1/25/05:

Spurred on by activists Patricia Fili and Jamison Green, the Board of
Supervisors of Alameda County today passed 4-0 a resolution
prohibiting gender identity discrimination in county employment,
county services, and county contracting.

They did this despite a literal barrage of emails from people
opposing the resolution. Please take a minute and send an email or
call (or better yet a written note) to each of the below Supervisors.
At the hearing on the resolution this morning, several of the
Supervisors commented that this resolution was about fairness and
justice and that supporting it was a part of making Alameda County a
better place to live for everyone.

Board President Keith Carson was the author of the resolution, so
please give him extra thanks. And please mention the work his staff,
especially Lara Bice, did in preparing the resolution.

Thanks a lot,
