Greetings Visionaires -

The "Moscow Cares" website has been updated to include the video of the 
following segment of the March 2, 2009 Moscow City Council session.

Proposed Gender Identity Non-Discrimination Policy.
(Failed 5-1)

>From the March 2, 2009 Moscow City Council Agenda:

"The City has a long-standing history of protection of human rights and 
dignity as well as non-discrimination against employees and applicants for 
employment because of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national 
origin, ancestry, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, sexual 
orientation, or other basis prohibited by local, State, or Federal law. 
Because of this deep commitment to tolerance, diversity and equality in 
City employment, the Mayor proposes the addition to the City equal 
opportunity statement of individuals who may be subjected to 
discrimination based upon an individual's real or perceived gender 
expression, identity and/or characteristics. Adoption of the proposed 
Resolution would also result in changes consistent with the additional 
language in the City Personnel Policies and in some future contracts and 
grant applications. Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on February 
23, 2009."
