The Sustainable Furnishings Council has become the latest industry entity to voice its opposition to North Carolina’s recently passed House Bill 2 that allows for discrimination and has requested it be repealed.
“We feel strongly that discrimination makes it impossible to sustain a healthy future,” said Susan Inglis, executive director of SFC.
“We hope that our legislators will soon repeal this senseless law and get on with the more important business of securing our future by legislating reduction of CO2 emissions and other harmful pollutants. We appreciate your spreading the word.”
The organization sent word of its opposition Thursday to all members of the N.C. General Assembly via a written request.
“The Sustainable Furnishings Council, a N.C.-based organization comprised of 400 member companies in the furnishings industry, is appalled by the passage of HB2 in the North Carolina General Assembly and by Governor (Pat) McCrory's signing it,” the statement said. “The discrimination this law condones is contrary to our principles and values. Furthermore, the law is a detriment to our industry and the economic well-being of our state. We call on the Governor and our legislators to repeal the law and work assiduously to reverse the damage it is causing.”
