With CAUSE conference this weekend, this week's top priority is to make sure everything is organized. Luckily, since we've been keeping up on everything, there isn't a whole lot left for CAUSE besides some fine tuning. However, that means that while we have a slight lag, now is the time to make sure we get as much as possible done for Pride event organization while we have a chance. Soon, Lobby Day will be closer and we will be too busy with that.
Last week, we had another volunteer come in from a local high school. She made a list of Cleveland business phone numbers and made phone calls to ask about their supportive policies. These policies include EEO policies with sexual orientation and gender identity, domestic partner benefits, support for transgender hormones and/or surgery, family leave, and bereavement leave. When I had free periods, I would continue the list while she made the phone calls. We're going to use that data to give to other organizations in the state, as well as to keep track of which businesses have which policies.
