“Lincoln has to compete with other communities for talented workers and many of those cities have protections in place based on sexual orientation.”
– Beatty Brasch, Executive Director of Center for People In Need

Make Lincoln Fair
People should be judged at work by their performance, not their sexual orientation. If you work hard and do your job effectively, you shouldn’t be fired just because you’re gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Great performance deserves a fair workplace. Now is the time to Make Lincoln Fair. Click here to learn more.

What our supporters say
“Regarding the various segments of the population which comprise the employment pool, it is wise for businesses to acknowledge that those same segments of the population are also included in the various target markets. Karma is a powerful force.”
– Wayne Boles, Community Relations at Telesis, Inc.
It's my responsibility to provide a safe, fair, supportive environment free of fear of discrimination in which capable, skilled staff members can feel affirmed and free to maximize their gifts and contributions.

History is coming to Lincoln - and you have a part to play. Small business leaders, faith leaders and city officials joined with Outlinc to announce a Fairness Ordinance to end discrimination against gay and transgender people in Lincoln. Make sure Lincoln’s city council knows that great performance deserves a fair workplace. Attend an upcoming phonebank, write a letter to the editor and urge fellow residents of Lincoln to Make Lincoln Fair! Phonebanks will be on:
- Monday, April 30 @ Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. 6:00 - 8:00 pm
- Tuesday, May 1 @ ACLU Nebraska. 5:00 - 7:00 pm
- Wednesday, May 2 @ ACLU Nebraska. 5:00 - 7:00 pm
- Monday, May 7 @ Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. 6:00 - 8:00 pm
- Tuesday, May 8 @ ACLU Nebraska. 5:00 - 7:00 pm
- Wednesday, May 9 @ ACLU Nebraska. 5:00 - 7:00 pm
The Fairness Ordinance would continue Lincoln’s long-standing tradition of treating everyone fairly. As the first city in Nebraska to stand-up against workplace discrimination, Lincoln can continue to grow in attractiveness to businesses by promoting a value Lincoln was built upon: fairness. Don’t let Lincoln stay behind Omaha in having protections for LGBT employees. Make Lincoln Fair.
