Team — We have an important update on Tammy’s petition from earlier this month:
In far too many states, LGBTQ Americans live without non-discrimination laws and can be denied an apartment, fired from a job, thrown out of a store, or face other forms of discrimination just because of who they are or who they love.
Tammy just reintroduced the Equality Act in the Senate to change that.
Now, it’s urgent that we build on this momentum to protect the rights of every LGBTQ American — and Tammy’s counting on you to join her in this fight.
Will you support Tammy’s fight for equality and help her advance LGBTQ protections in the Senate by donating to her reelection campaign?

No LGBTQ American should face discrimination and unjust treatment simply because of who they are and who they love. Thank you for joining Tammy to help ensure this rings true for everyone.

Subject: Building on our progress
Happy Pride Month, folks!
As we celebrate in parades and festivals across Wisconsin, we have to remember that LGBTQ Americans’ fundamental freedoms and civil rights are under attack by Republican governors and state lawmakers across the country.
From Florida’s horrific “Don’t Say Gay” bill to Mississippi and Iowa’s recent laws going after medical professionals providing gender-affirming care to minors, the attacks on the LGBTQ community are relentless.
Last year, we made incredible progress by passing the Respect for Marriage Act. But our work isn’t over yet. Just this year, a record number of anti-LGBTQ legislation have been introduced.
That’s why we cannot stop the fight for progress and equality. For every step forward we make, far-right lawmakers try to pull us backward.
We need to fight back against these draconian measures and ensure that LGBTQ youth across the country are given the support and equal opportunity they deserve. No LGBTQ American should face discrimination and unjust treatment simply because of who they are and who they love.
Now more than ever, we need to pass the Equality Act so we can guarantee every LGBTQ American the full freedom of equality and protection under federal law.
I’m a proud co-sponsor and advocate for the Equality Act. Sign my petition urging my colleagues in Congress to bring the Equality Act to the floor for a vote so we can protect the rights of every LGBTQ American.
Thank you for making your voice heard on this issue – I’m so grateful for your support.
