To our LGBTQIA2S+ family, know you are not alone.
John,
Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate trans joy and redouble our commitments to uplift this community in the face of unrelenting attacks on our trans family.
In January, ACLU data revealed that Missouri Republicans have proposed more anti-LGBTQIA2S+ legislation than any other state in the country. It's appalling.
As a healthcare professional, I know gender-affirming care is health care, and stand with the leading medical organizations and studies that show it is a medical necessity for our trans youth.
Unfortunately, trans Missourians aren't alone. From Florida, to Indiana, Iowa to Kentucky — to center stage this month at a major conservative event in Washington, DC — the far right are targeting the LGBTQIA2S+ community, especially our trans family members, with vitriol. The disturbing trend of anti-LGBTQIA2S+ extremism must not go unchecked.
There is a real life-or-death impact of the Republican's obsessive attacks on the LGBTQIA2S+ community through legislation that attempts to criminalize vulnerable students, parents, health care providers, and members of the trans community.
And when the GOP couldn't get certain bills passed in Congress, they shifted their focus toward fear-mongering ballot initiatives — seeking to dismantle our rights one state at a time.
Will you chip in $5 or more now to help us accelerate our efforts to combat their attacks and support trans youth and our broader LGBTQIA2S+ community?

In Congress, I'm advancing legislation to ease the unnecessary burden placed on the LGBTQIA2S+ community, like: eviction relief, passing The Unhoused Bill of Rights, and ending the racist, homophobic, and transphobic discriminatory housing policies and practices in place at the city, state, and national level.
Your support can help make these goals a reality. Help us spread the word about the issues and our proposed solutions with a contribution of $5 today.
Remember: today and every day, your Congresswoman loves you,
Cori
