Dear AMSA member!  

You can make a major difference on this legislation, and it will only take a minute!  The Employment Non-Discrimination Act is moving for a vote in the House of Representatives in the coming week!  

1.  Use our easy-to-use action center to let your representative know in seconds how you feel AND you can read more about why this act is so important for our patients and our colleagues:

2.  Please take a moment between lectures, at meetings, over your medical school email listservs, etc to announce to our colleagues how important it is for our representatives to hear from us!  There is a lot of misinformation circulating about ENDA.  I have also attached a FAQ sheet that you may find useful in addition to the resources on our website.  

3.  Forward this email!

If you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance, please let me know!

Kind regards,

Aaron
