Over the last 10 years, the Matthew Shepard Foundation (MSF) has been on the front lines. They’ve fought for change, for equal protection in the workplace, and for hate crimes legislation. Now, we have a new opportunity. A new president, a new Congress. With your support, the MSF will make a difference in this new era.
MSF successfully fought for nationwide hate crimes legislation. Judy Shepard fought tirelessly for the Matthew Shepard Act and the bill passed the House and the Senate only to have her efforts thwarted. Now is the time to finally move forward. And the MSF can only do it with your help.
Over the last 10 years, the MSF has brought more than one million people a message of acceptance. Judy Shepard and the Foundation staff have spoken to university students, business executives, Congressional committees, and communities across the country emphasizing the importance of acceptance in our lives and in our society. Your continuing support guarantees that ability to spread this message.
In 2009, it will still be legal for homophobic employers in the United States of America to destroy the livelihood of hard-working gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered Americans by depriving them of employment solely due to their sexual orientation. This bigotry has no place in the coming era of American history and the Matthew Shepard Foundation continues to insist that this discrimination be erased from our nation before 2010.
Change is in the air, and with your help, the Matthew Shepard Foundation will make sure it’s the change we need. Donate today.
