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

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.

#TransDayofRemembrance is not just about remembrance.
It is a call to action to interrogate and dismantle oppressive systems that *perpetuate* this violence. #TDOR #TDoR2019 lambdalegal.org/blog/2019111…

#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
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.
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.

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
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.
@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.
