Unions can lend strong support for our communities simply by passing a resolution in their executive bodies. Here are three resolutions your union can pass to support our families, youth, and the rights of transgender people. The Empire State Pride Agenda is working to pass legislation on all of these issues: Dignity for All Students, the Gender Expression Non Discrimination Act, and marriage equality.
