Last week, Montana state Representative Zooey Zephyr was censured by her colleagues in the state legislature for her refusal to stay quiet about gender affirming care and trans rights.
Tell the Montana state legislature to stop with the hatred and stand with Zooey today!

John,
At Victory Institute, we take pride in training LGBTQ+ candidates across the country that are running to keep fighting for gender equality – like trans rights and gender affirming care.
So when I heard what was happening to her last week, I knew we had to act. Rep. Zooey Zephyr was censured by her colleagues because she stood up to bigots and protested the anti-trans bill that would directly harm herself and her community. Censuring Zooey is both undemocratic and transphobic, AND silences her, the 11,000 Montanans she represents, and trans folks across the state.
We’re with Zooey 100% of the way. Add your name here to stand with Zooey against the bigots and extremists! [[link removed]]
As a Victory Insitute Women Out to Win [[link removed]] alum, Zooey has shown us that electing LGBTQ+ candidates is vital to protecting rights but will continue to be a difficult political position
We’ll continue to be silenced, censured, and turned away because LGBTQ+ officials have the power to make a HUGE difference. 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 and Salt Lake City, with more trainings planned in Sioux Falls [[link removed]] and Orlando [[link removed]] this year.
We won’t let bigots silence us or our elected for speaking on what’s right. Add your name and let Zooey know you’ve got her back [[link removed]] .
Thanks for standing with us against hate,
Albert Fujii
