Hi -

Organizations should not be allowed to use religion to discriminate when
hiring-especially if they're using our tax dollars. But that's what's
happening right now.

Some federal grantees have used a 2007 Justice Department memo to argue that
they should not be barred from discriminating against LGBT workers. And some
have sought to extend its use beyond hiring-the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops referred to the memo when refusing to provide emergency
contraception to unaccompanied immigrant children who'd been raped.

Join the ACLU in urging President Obama to order a review of the dangerous
and discriminatory memo.

Thanks.
