Law360: Anti-Bias Law Expansion Introduced by Dems

July 31. 2024

ERA Policy Director & Deputy Legal Director Jessica Ramey Stender was interviewed by Law360 for an article about the federal BeHEARD Act, introduced in Congress today, and endorsed by Equal Rights Advocates, to help end harassment and discrimination in workplaces.

“But I think the reintroduction of the bill is a really important step forward in terms of laying out what a comprehensive response to this extremely problematic issue of harassment and discrimination looks like,” Stender said. “And it really provides a blueprint for legislators and advocates going forward to work together to pass legislation that addresses the myriad obstacles that workers face to actually achieving safe and harassment-free workplaces.”
