John:

Did you see this graphic from Governing based on our 2023 Out for America Report? It really struck me: we must elect 36,232 more LGBTQ+ people to achieve equitable representation in the United States.

Here's what the representation gap looks like now:

That's a big representation gap - and it's going to take a lot of work to close it. But here's the good news: LGBTQ+ people are (rightfully!) furious about the number of anti-LGBTQ bills circulating in the U.S. They're ready to take back our government from the bigots - and they're running for office to drown them out. Are you ready to stand with them and ensure they have the resource to win? Add your name!

Right now, Victory Institute is the only organization that exclusively trains LGBTQ+ people to run for office. We're working to expand our training options in time for the 2024 campaign cycle and build pipelines in states that have little to no LGBTQ+ representation, like Florida, Tennessee and South Dakota. But we can't do this essential work without your help. So sign on: together we can close the representation gap and achieve equality in government!

Thanks for adding your name,

Albert Fujii
