Everetti Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)
ENDA is an anti-discrimination law in the Union of Everett, which has its traces in the United States. Both countries' law was shortened ENDA, however, the full meanings differed. The Everetti Non-Discrimination Act, protects all forms of people, ranging from race, sex, age and religion.
ENDA in the United States differed from it's Everetti counterpart. ENDA in the U.S. stood for Employment Non-Discrimination Act and primarily focused around the LGBT community. The original bill was refused by Congress. It was later passed after the section protecting transgender people was removed, at Congress' request. Everett condemned the U.S. Congress' actions.
