Dear
Friend,
Today the Green Party of the United States joins in honoring and
recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). TDOV was founded by
transgender activist Rachel Crandall in 2009 to celebrate living
members of the transgender community. First celebrated internationally
in 2014, the president has
officially recognized March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility
every year since 2021 in the United States.
This year the transgender community is facing
tremendous pressure from conservative and far-right political groups
who have proposed a record
235+ anti-trans pieces of legislation so far this
year.

Unlike the parties of War and Wall
Street, the Green Party of the United States has always taken the
position that we cannot compromise on issues of life or death for
Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and
other gender and romantic minority communities.
The National Lavender Green Caucus represents the LGBTQIA+ members
of our party. If you're eligible, please
consider joining the NLGC and help the party grow! 🏳️⚧️
🏳️🌈
We believe that addressing the deep issues facing LGBTQIA+
communities today require deep solutions. We stand for continuing the
struggle for true equality in every way including:
- A comprehensive National Health Plan including full access to
mental, dental, hearing and vision services.
- A healthcare system that will not discriminate coverage based upon
sexuality, gender, ethnicity, nationality, or income.
- Increasing funding for HIV/AIDS research towards a cure.
- A guaranteed living wage and an end to homelessness which
disproportionately affects LGBTQIA+ youth.
- Support for LGBTQIA+ friendly K-12 educational materials and free
education at all levels through college.
- Ending senseless mass incarceration and the War on Drugs, which
also disproportionately targets queer youth, particularly LGBTQIA+
youth of color.
No other national political party matches the Green Party's
commitment to the liberation of all people, regardless of
sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex. 🌈
Your continued
support of the Green Party helps give our candidates and
organizers the training and support needed to win that fight! Please
consider
supporting that effort today.
In Solidarity,
Margaret Elisabeth, Co-Chair Green Party of The United
States Co-Chair National Lavender Green Caucus
