friend—

I don’t like sending out these fundraising asks, but they’re the only way our people-powered campaign is going to compete with corporate money.

We’re halfway through May and still less than halfway to our monthly goal. Can you help us catch up with a contribution now?

In Kentucky, a prominent GOP candidate for governor just said “we will not have transgenders in our school system.” She later doubled down on that, saying “Under a Craft-Wise administration, we will not have transgender.”

Hate is a disease, and it spreads fast.

After Michael Knowles’ calls in March to “eradicate transgenderism from public life entirely,” we’re seeing others pick up on that genocidal call.

Once again, there is no way to “eradicate transgenderism.” There is only the “eradication” and persecution of transgender people like myself.

We need your help. We need a trans person in Congress, for both the dignity of our community and the protection of transgender youth across the country.

Acceptance is winning. More Americans support trans rights than ever before.

But we must confront the right-wing backlash, the conservatives’ last gasp at controlling women and queer bodies as we march forth toward liberation.

Are you with me in this fight?

In solidarity,

Maebe Pudlo
