#AmnestyPride Pride 2014 Action

Take It to Twitter to Tell Congress to Pass ENDA!

Tell your local reps to pass ENDA now. From Seattle to Atlanta to Boston, be sure to check out our list of Pride Cities 2014 Representatives’ Twitter Handles at www.amnestyusa.org/pridekit. And all towns and cities can participate in their action-- once you find your Representative at http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/, a quick Google search with his or her name and twitter should bring up your Reps’ handle if they are on Twitter.

In your local group, on your campus, or during the festivities, ask people to pull out their phone and tweet to their Representative right there. Sample Tweets:

Rep @XXXXXX, protect #LGBT people in the workplace. Pass HR 1755! #ENDA! #AmnestyPride
