Tell the Jacksonville City Council to Say “NO” to the HRO!

Jacksonville Action Alert

Members of the Jacksonville City Council have just filed the bad Human Rights Ordinance (HRO) bill again, which was defeated twice before thanks to your efforts.  Do not be fooled Despite the claims of “new compromise language,” the new Jacksonville Human Rights Ordinance (HRO) 2017-15, 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.
