MESSAGE (please personalize):
Dear Chairman Davis and Members of the House Commerce Committee,
I urge you to vote YES for Rep. Freeman's bill HB 282 to end LGBTQ+ discrimination in Housing. It is not only the right thing to do, it is in Louisiana's and our businesses's interests to be a welcoming state.
Court decisions and federal rules are moving in that direction and it would reflect well on our state to proactively clarify that discrimination of all kinds is not legal nor tolerated in Louisiana.
Sincerely,
Name, address
