In response to the Supreme Court’s decision that LGBTQ workers are protected under federal anti-discrimination law, Earthjustice president Abigail Dillen released the following statement:
“Today’s decision is a major triumph for equality and basic human decency in our nation. As an employer that does not tolerate discrimination of any kind against our LGBTQ+ staff, Earthjustice is proud to see that standard upheld across the nation.
“We are grateful to the determined activists who made this court victory a possibility. Their passion, their courage, and their refusal to accept anything less than full dignity and respect under the law are making it possible for all of us to live in a more just society.”
