John:

It's official: the Virginia elections are a bellwether for 2024. And the primaries are next week so it's time to go all-in to get our LGBTQ+ candidates over the finish line. Rush a donation to ensure pro-equality candidates WIN in Virginia next week!

Here's what's at stake: in 2019, pro-equality candidates took BACK the Virginia House of Delegates. They made sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes to combat discrimination in housing and workplaces and expanded hate crimes legislation to protect LGBTQ+ people. They banned conversion therapy - the first state in the U.S. South to do it - and passed legislation benefiting trans kids in schools. They did a lot of great work!

And this year pro-equality and pro-choice leaders successfully blocked bigoted bills, like Virginia’s version of "Don't Say Gay" and a 15-week abortion ban. John, we MUST take back the House from the bigots this year! And that means we've got to win these primaries. Pitch in to help pro-equality candidates win!

Virginia's homophobes and transphobes know they can only win if they spread hateful lies, demonize trans people and recruit bigoted legislators. The best way to beat them at their own game is to keep electing LGBTQ+ people and ensure trans people have an equal seat at the tables of power. Our candidates will repeal these horrific bills and change hearts and minds. Help us elect LGBTQ+ candidates in Virginia - donate today!
