John:

In April, Maine Governor Janet Mills signed a groundbreaking bill into law, making Maine a sanctuary state for trans people and those seeking abortions. This legislation was championed by a coalition of dedicated pro-equality elected officials, including the trailblazing LGBTQ+ Representative Laurie Osher. Despite facing bomb threats and intense opposition, these courageous leaders stood firm in their commitment to protect and uplift marginalized communities.

Maine signs trans and abortion sanctuary bill into law, despite violent threats –- The Advocate

Maine joins the 15 other states that have taken steps to protect trans people – and our LGBTQ+ elected officials are leading the charge. Now, we want to train the next rainbow wave and ensure more pro-LGBTQ bills get signed into law. Pitch in today to keep this essential work moving forward!

The candidates who win in 2024 will decide who has access to healthcare. They'll decide who can get married, who can be out at work and whose stories can be told in schools. It’s clear that LGBTQ+ elected officials are working overtime to protect our rights – and we must send them reinforcements.

We need leaders who will take action to keep anti-equality bigots OUT of our bedrooms and stop the assault on LGBTQ+ rights. If you’re committed to electing these candidates, defending LGBTQ+ rights and preserving equality, pitch in here!

Thank you,
