Profile:

Todd (Tif) Fernandez believes we are stronger when act on principles. To this end, he is working to include LGBT people equally in the full compliment of America's Civil Rights Laws via The American Equality Bill (http://bit.ly/AEBnow). To advance that approach, he seeks to engender a coalition movement based on transparency and public involvement wherein the thousands of community organizations and millions of equality activists can participate directly in their own liberation. He is also a composer, holds a Masters of Law in Human Rights from the Univ. of Pretoria, South Africa, and was formerly General Counsel & Legislative Director for Economic Affairs and Governor's Ombudsman for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
