A group of civil rights advocates released a video on Wednesday demanding Congress take action on the Equality Act.

Plenty of individuals not directly affiliated with the LGBTQ cause are part of the video as well, including UnidosUS President and CEO Janet Murguia and Asian Americans Advancing Justice Vice President Policy and Programs Jiny Kim.
