Dear MoveOn member,
As the far-right continues its attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, we are
called to recommit to the fight for equality, justice, and dignity for
all.
[ [link removed] ]Which is why, as we approach the end of Pride Month, we are asking you
to take the Equality for All pledge—to show your support for the LGBTQ+
community year-round. When you take the pledge, MoveOn will send you a
FREE "Equality for All" sticker.

As Pride Month comes to a close, we honor the fierce, bold leaders who
have led the charge to call for equality in the past and those who are
trailblazers today.
But so much work remains. Every day in communities all across the country,
LGBTQ+ people are targeted, harassed, humiliated, and worse—just for being
true to themselves.
Congress has failed to secure basic rights and protections for LGBTQ+
people. And in 2023 alone, more than 530 Republican-backed laws have been
proposed in states across the country attacking people who are transgender
and gender-nonconforming, with a particular and ugly focus on attacking
trans kids.^1
So as this year's Pride Month celebrations draw to an end, we must also
keep up the fight for true liberation and against bigotry and hatred.
[ [link removed] ]To show your support for LGBTQ+ equality, we're asking you to take our
"Equality for All" pledge. When you do, we will send you a free "Equality
for All" sticker for you to put on your laptop, car, water bottle, or
anywhere else that is highly visible to show that you won’t be silenced by
right-wing bigots and that you stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+
community.
Thanks for all you do. And happy Pride!
–Kelly, Oscar, Emily, Elizabeth, and the rest of the team

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to
right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from
their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile,"
filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around
to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will
attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into
2024, we need your help.
Will you chip in to power our critical work?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
