 We'll get to the mushy stuff later, but we wanted to take
a minute to share with you what we've loved working on recently.
Here are some quick highlights of what amazing things our team has
accomplished over the last year.

* We worked with members of Congress to display the trans flag
outside their offices during the week of Transgender Day of
Visibility, sparking conversation in the halls of Congress about
trans needs.

* We released our national report, "Failing to Protect and
Serve," highlighting the failure police departments across
the nation to adopt and modernize policies protecting the rights
of transgender people.

* We launched Transform the White House and sat down with almost
every major candidate for president to get their views on
transgender issues.

* We worked with our friends at the Virginia Value Coalition to
pass fully inclusive non-discrimination protections for the
transgender community.
* We contributed to the battle against attacks on transgender
youth in South Dakota, defeating a harmful bill that would have
targeted young trans people and prevented them from getting the
medical care they need.
* We continue the fight for nondiscrimination protections in Ohio
right now.

That's a lot to love!

Our hearts are full every day of the year, but especially now as our
movement is gaining steam. There is so much work still to do, though,
like fighting against bills on the floors across the country that will
impact the transgender community, including those targeting trans
athletes and young people. We are also facing unprecedented attacks on
our community by the Trump administration with proposed laws that will
allow businesses and organizations to refuse service to transgender
people. But, with love in our hearts and passion in our bellies, we
will face these challenges head-on. 

That's why today  I'm asking you to join me in
supporting NCTE so that we can continue to fight for the rights of
transgender people across the country.

So I'm asking you, please be our Valentine and give us the best
gift ever - a donation to help fuel the mission.
