Ask JA to change their policies regarding admittance of same-sex couples and individuals.

The Issue

As of October 2015, Junior Assembly does not allow same sex couples to attend their annual cotillion dance. As well as blatantly discriminating against the LGBTQ Community, this organization is perpetuating what they call “traditional values from the 1940’s,” which have no place in today’s progressive society. Female members are not allowed to attend the event unaccompanied; a man is required to check-in each female guest. 

Join us in asking Junior Assembly to make a change in their policies regarding admittance of same-sex couples and individual persons. Join your community and boycott JA!
