John,

In a recent interview with The Hill, Victory Fund President & CEO Mayor Annise Parker was quoted saying;

There’s a misconception that “LGBTQ people can’t win in the south,” but “the right candidate with the right message can win anywhere. We prove that all the time.”

LGBTQ+ people are facing an onslaught of anti-LGBTQ bills - the vast majority of them introduced in the South. Bigots there believe that they can pass these bills without facing any consequences. But we're going to prove them wrong.

Here's the good news: in the face of hate, more LGBTQ+ people are stepping up to run. They're ready to fight back, and we're ready to make sure they win. Donate today to ensure we can support LGBTQ+ candidates across the South and around the country!

No matter where you live, LGBTQ+ people shouldn't have to look over their shoulders and feel unsafe. Trans people shouldn't have to travel for hours for gender-affirming care. The parents of LGBTQ+ kids shouldn't fear for their kids' safety. It's not just outrageous – it’s dangerous!

Our rights are under attack. Over the past two years, there were hundreds of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in states across America. Bigoted governors are gleefully signing them into law. LGBTQ+ kids and families aren't safe right now.

So our community is fighting back at the ballot box. And Victory Fund is on the front lines. We've already endorsed over 200 candidates this cycle, and our goal is to support even more. But the only way we can do that is if you help. Will you make an investment in building the strong campaigns needed to beat the bigots and win?

Thanks for fighting back with us,

LGBTQ+ Victory Fund
