Final Workshop for Atlantic Beach HRO
By David Vandygriff
Tonight will mark months of hard work by many dedicated individuals & groups. From the Human Rights Campaign, Equality Florida, We Are Straight Allies, JASMYN, & the Jacksonville Coalition for Equality tonight is another important step towards equality.
Atlantic will be the first city in North Florida that will offer protections based upon sexual orientation & gender identity/expression if all goes well tonight to make way for a final vote on August 11, 2014. They'll be a chance for public comment and then a final reading of the ordinance.
After a failed attempt in 2012 to pass an amended human rights ordinance in Jacksonville, the Human Rights Groups of North Florida has been pushing for a revamped ordinance in Atlantic Beach since November 2013.
All groups are encouraging LGBT & Allies to attend tonight's Atlantic Beach City Council Workshop. Please wear RED to show support at Atlantic Beach City Hall 6:30pm.
