John,
Here’s the bad news: the Southern U.S. has seen a dramatic rise in anti-equality bills, John. BUT there is good news: a significant number of LGBTQ+ folks are running for office to keep pushing for pro-equality legislation.
There have been over 25 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee in the past month alone . Bigots in Tennessee have worked to ban everything from drag shows to gender-affirming care for trans kids. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is determined to expand the state’s notorious “Don’t Say Gay” law. The Missouri Attorney General just banned gender-affirming care for adults, directly targeting trans people of any age!
We're taking the fight to the bigots - and building a lasting pipeline of LGBTQ+ leadership and training people who are ready to win – and repeal these awful bills. Pitch in today to send out leaders reinforcements and defend the future of LGBTQ+ rights! [[link removed]]

LGBTQ+ kids in states like Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee are facing threats to their livelihood for simply existing – under the false pretense of protection.
We won’t stand for it, and we have a plan to address it. With your support, we’re hosting Candidate & Campaign Trainings and Leadership Summits in states with high rates of anti-equality legislation. We just held a Leadership Summit in Memphis, with more trainings planned in Salt Lake City, Sioux Falls and Orlando this year.
We need all hands on deck, John, to help train and support candidates who will *actually* work to keep our kids safe. Chip in today to support our vigorous leadership training programs! [[link removed]]
Thanks for standing with us against hate,
