@USEEOC released an important report today showing that there’s much more work to do to realize the promise of the law.

I hope you can join us tomorrow as we reflect on 60 years of the Civil Rights Act.

The attack on #ClubQ on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance is a dark reminder that hate and intolerance for LGBTQI+ people can have deadly consequences. Enough. All of us - politicians, employers, workers, students, teachers - must play a role in stopping hate.

And we know that transgender workers as a group continue to face incredibly high levels of discrimination in the workplace. The @USEEOC is working every day to ensure protections for transgender workers.
