Washington, DC – Today, Equality PAC Co-Chairs Chairman Mark Takano (D-CA) and Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) released the following statement regarding passage of the Equality Act by the House of Representatives.
“For millions of LGBTQ Americans, the Equality Act means that they will finally have the protections they desperately need and no longer have to fear being discriminated against in the areas of housing, healthcare, credit and so much more,” said Equality PAC Co-Chairs Chairman Mark Takano and Congressman David Cicilline. “Now that the House of Representatives has passed the Equality Act with bipartisan support, we are one step closer to making the Equality Act the law of the land, ensuring protections for millions of LGBTQ Americans and their families. We urge the Senate to quickly pass this critical legislation and send it to President Biden’s desk for his signature.”
