We’re kicking off Pride Month by asking folks to sign on to support the Equality Act. Now more than ever, we must protect and codify protections for our LGBTQ+ neighbors and community members.
Will you add your name to our petition to show your support for the Equality Act?

Hi,
Fifty-four years ago this month, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a refuge for the LGBTQ+ community in Manhattan. It wasn't the first time but, that night, led by Black and Latino patrons, they said, "Enough!"
Despite the threat of losing their jobs or homes because of who they were and whom they loved, they protested and sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Millions of Americans have continued to fight to not only live authentically and love whom they love — but to simply exist.
We've seen incredible progress in the years since Stonewall, but constant efforts to turn back the clock continue. Extreme Republicans in states across the nation have passed new laws to further restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ people, while others are attempting to erase their existence entirely.
So this month, I want to encourage you to celebrate Pride with our LGBTQ+ community and show care and compassion for yourselves.
I also want to ask you to take action. We stand at a critical moment where the rights that LGBTQ+ people have won in the courts could easily be erased. And today, too many still face the threat of being evicted or denied services for who they are.
It's time for federal legislation to end discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans. If you agree, will you stand with me and demand action this Pride Month?

We must celebrate Pride, and we must act. I promise to keep fighting for more legislation to protect the civil rights of every American, and I'm glad to have you with me in this fight.
Thank you,
Bob Casey
