Otherwise it would prevent religious employers from making employment decisions to protect their religious mission and identity. As such itwould violate their right to freely exercise their religion protected by the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Please let Mayor Muriel Bowser hear your voices loud and clear!
