Tomorrow, New York City council speaker Christine Quinn along with Empire State Pride Agenda and members LGBT advocacy organizations, including the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF), Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, and The Ali Forney Center will march on the steps of City Hall, in New York City. Following a spike in anti-LGBT attacks in the city, 
Quinn and advocates are gathering to call on Albany to pass the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA). With the end of the legislative session quickly approaching, pressure is needed to ensure this bill is passed. Currently in New York, a person can be evicted or fired from their job due to their gender expression.
16 states plus Washington, DC have passed non-discrimination laws covering gender identity, and many more counties across the U.S. have similar protections.
A full list of the participating organizations is below:
Empire State Pride Agenda, Gay Men's Health Crisis, Freedom to Marry, Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, NYTRO, SAGE, Housing Works, Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, New York Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, The New York City LGBT Center, The Ali Forney Center and GLAAD.
