On November 5th, 2009, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee will hold hearings on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The hearings will take place in a city where over half of its citizens are African American. According to the Washington D.C.

Back on Feburary 25, 2009 Kathy Padilla wrote a post over at Pam’s House Blend titled “Hate Crimes & ENDA: Bad Bills Come and Bad Bills Go“. When it came out I really thought it would be one of those explosive posts that rocked the community down to the bone. She said:

According the Washington Blade, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) approved a policy statement that
“the group will not support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, if it excludes language protecting persons from discrimination.”
