John, it’s a shocking number, but it’s true: we must elect 35,845 more LGBTQ+ people at all levels of government to achieve equal representation in the U.S. government. This is Victory Institute’s moonshot effort and we need you on the team. Are you in?

Here’s what we’re up against right now: dozens of state legislatures are attacking trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people with hateful legislation – using our lives as a political weapon. In our school boards, activists are using racism and transphobia to create chaos, devolving meetings into little more than verbal threats and even physical violence.

But Victory Institute has a plan to fight back. We are the only global organization dedicated to ensuring that LGBTQ+ leaders, activists and elected officials have the tools and resources they need to make huge changes in their communities - and win elected officia

Through our Candidate & Campaign Trainings, Leadership Summits, Victory Congressional Internship for LGBTQ+ youth, Victory Empowerment Fellowship for trans and LGBTQ+ leaders of color and our Global programming, we’re working every day to close the representation gap and stand up to these bigots.

Closing the representation gap won’t be easy. But with you on our team, we can do it. Are you ready to stop the slate of hate and join the race to secure 35,854 more LGBTQ+ elected officials?

Thanks for letting us know if you’re in,
