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.
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.
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?
