Members of the Jacksonville City Council have just filed the bad Human Rights Ordinance (HRO) bill again, still puts women’s privacy, safety and dignity at risk while using showers, locker rooms, spas and bathrooms by allowing men to use these intimate facilities.  It seeks to allow the government to punish businesses and Christian ministries which simply wish to live, work and serve their community in accordance with the dictates of their faith.  Despite the deceptive word changes, it’s still the same dangerous anti-liberty ordinance. See our one page analysis here.

ACTION STEPS:

1)      Email and call all Jacksonville City Council members and tell them to VOTE NO ON THE HRO!  Click here to send emails now. (Must have a Jacksonville address to use this tool.)

2)      Attend one or more of the hearings at City Hall and speak out or just be seen in opposition.  Join many fellow Jacksonville residents who oppose this measure at the City Council meeting this Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 5:00pm at City Hall in the St. James Building (117 W. Duval St., Jacksonville, FL  32202).  Come early and wear bright “American Flag” BLUE for solidarity around this cause.

3)      Make a contribution to help defeat this dangerous anti-liberty ordinance here.

4)      Help us spread the word by fowarding this information to like-minded friends and family in Jacksonville!

Tell the City Council to Let the People Decide Whether Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity & Expression Should Be Added as New Protected Classes

PETITION:
As a citizen of Jacksonville, I want the City Council to allow the voters of Duval County to decide this controversial issue by referendum and not to force this “Human Rights Ordinance” upon our community by a vote of only ten members of the Jacksonville City Council.

BACKGROUND:
The City Council of Jacksonville is currently moving to pass a so-called “Human Rights Ordinance” which will create new protected classes for the categories of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.  These laws in other cities have been used as weapons to punish citizens for simply exercising their religious views and free speech within their own businesses and in private property ownership.  These same laws are also being used to allow fully biological men who either cross dress or subjectively claim they feel they are women to have complete access to women’s bathrooms, showers and locker rooms.  Another bill in the City Council proposes largely the same ordinance but would place it on the ballot allow the people of Jacksonville to accept or reject.  One of these bills will pass out of the City Council.  A similar bill was recently rejected in a referendum by the people in Houston, Texas.  For more information check out www.DefendJaxFamilies.com.

GO THE EXTRA MILE: 
Contact members of the Jacksonville City Council and tell them to let the people decide on the HRO issue.
