ActupRoad Are the die-ins in response to the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner succeeding in putting the spotlight on police violence? “The latest die-ins are some of the first to garner national attention since environmental activists in the 1970s donned Cold War-era gas masks on Earth Day and conducted die-ins to protest polluted air, or Aids activists – especially from Act-Up – staged die-ins and political funerals to protest the government’s failure to act to study or prevent the mass deaths of mostly gay men from Aids in the 1980s and 90s. In the latter case, predominantly gay and lesbian protesters targeted places like Wall Street, the Food and Drug Administration and the White House with calls of “Silence=Death”, calling attention to the fact that the government’s willingness to ignore a public health crisis functioned as a death sentence for those without available treatment – and they worked with allies to eventually make Aids a mainstream social cause.”

How A Law From 1964 Suddenly Protects Transgender Government Workers

How A Law From 1964 Suddenly Protects Transgender Government Workers

<> on May 20, 2010 in Washington, DC.Attorney General Eric Holder released a memo Thursday outlining the Justice Department’s decision to redefine its interpretation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit workplace discrimination against transgender people.

Effective immediately, the Justice Department can now prosecute on behalf of people who claim to have been discriminated against by state and local public employers based on sex identity.

“The federal government’s approach to this issue has also evolved over time,” Holder wrote in the memo, adding that the new interpretation is the “most straightforward reading” of the law.

This is essentially a 180 from their decision in 2006 under George W. Bush that stated the law did not cover transgender workplace protections.

Holder’s memo comes on the tail of a series of moves from the Obama administration to grant stronger workplace rights to transgender employees. In July, Obama ordered protection for gay/trans employees of the federal government or companies with active federal contracts.

The Justice Department has no authority, however, to sue private employers, so the memo does not affect them.
