My subcommittee which is entitled Environment also gets the "other" resolutions that come to National and International Concerns. This morning people came to testify in favor of eliminating disposable bottles and why the government should have equitable subsidies for renewable energy. Following the testimony we presented our amended resolution on immigration policy and sent it to the floor of convention for adoption. Tonight we had testimony on government regulation of financial transactions and the creation of a new international regulatory agency to promote and enforce fair trade.
In the morning National and INternational Concerns heard testimony on the need for equal rights legislation to protect transgender persons. Several transgender clergy came to talk to us about the injustice they suffer.
We finished Thursday working on reform of Labor Law, renewable energy standards and international trade treaty recommendations. A busy day, which surrounded public narrative and one-on-one conversation about the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion.
