Proud to join @HLSLambda and other LGBTQ+ law school students advocating for workers. Workers rights are LGBTQ+ rights are civil rights 🌈

[People's Parity Project @PeoplesParity]

This fall, PPP & LGBTQ+ student groups called on students to cut ties with @gibsondunn until the firm freed its workers from forced arbitration.

This week, Gibson announced it will no longer force employees—any employees—to sign an arbitration clause.

[Black Trans Travel Fund @BlkTransTravel]

When we talk about the violence trans people are facing in this country for #TDOR, we must acknowledge the disproportionate reality, that it is not just any trans person being murdered in the streets. Time after time after time, it has been Black trans women.

[Lambda Legal @LambdaLegal]

#TransDayofRemembrance is not just about remembrance.

It is a call to action to interrogate and dismantle oppressive systems that *perpetuate* this violence. #TDOR #TDoR2019 https://t.co/IBQjs2IkeT

[HLS Lambda @HLSLambda]

#LGBTQ people have increasingly won rights in the workplace, employers have made it virtually impossible to enforce them. Today, the majority of private-sector, non-union employees are subject to “forced arbitration clauses” buried in the fine print of their employment contracts

[NYU OUTLaw @NYUOUTLaw]

Proud to stand with @HLSLambda, @PeoplesParity, and other law students against #forcedarbitration. LGBTQ+ workers shouldn’t be forced to choose between their jobs and vindicating their civil rights in court.

[HLS Lambda @HLSLambda]

LGBTQ+ law student organizations around the country are leading the way by dropping sponsorships from legal employers that use #forcedarbitration. We’re fighting to #EndForcedArbitration so that #LGBTQ workers can vindicate our civil rights.

@RiaTabaccoMar weighs in on the “devastating” effect that SCOTUS ruling against #Zarda would have on EEOC enforcement, which has helped recoup millions in damages for affected workers.

[NYU OUTLaw @NYUOUTLaw]

Packed room for our panel at @nyulaw on #Zarda, #Bostock, #HarrisFuneral, and sex orientation and gender identity discrimination at the Court. Thrilled to have @RiaTabaccoMar from @ACLU, Ezra Kukor from @NYCCHR, and Richard Blum from @LegalAidNYC

[NYU OUTLaw @NYUOUTLaw]

Blum highlights Justice Kavanaugh’s question during oral argument parsing any difference between a “literal” vs. “ordinary” meaning of sex. Kukor agrees the question is premised on a fundamental misunderstanding of sex as binary.
