Dear MoveOn member,
Today marks the official start of Pride Month!
That means it's time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and honor LGBTQ+
trailblazers—and to recommit ourselves to the fight against hate,
homophobia, and transphobia.
Right now, all across the country, bigoted MAGA politicians are attacking
the LGBTQ+ community—from threatening to repeal same-sex marriage and
prohibiting gender-affirming care to banning books that are written by
LGBTQ+ authors.^1
We refuse to have our rights, freedom, and dignity stripped away from us.
We are going to VOTE and help ensure our family and friends vote too.
That's why MoveOn created this new, limited-edition "Vote with Pride"
T-shirt, sticker, and enamel pin.

John, beginning with the Stonewall Uprising, when queer and
trans people of color resisted police brutality, Pride has always been
about protest.
And today, MoveOn members are resisting the cruel attacks on the LGBTQ+
community—from book bans that attempt to erase LGBTQ+ authors to hateful
legislation that denies LGBTQ+ kids lifesaving health care.
But we must remember that Pride Month is about more than fighting back
against Republican bigots.
It's also about celebrating the beauty, joy, strength, bravery, and
diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.
Join the protest—and the celebration—by getting your very own "Vote with
Pride" T-shirt, sticker, and enamel pin.
Remember, unlike if you buy Pride merchandise at big-box stores, your
contribution to MoveOn directly powers the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and a
more just world.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced
teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their
shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back,
including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right
has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility
of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to
stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA
politicians who support them, we need your help.
Will you make a gift to power MoveOn's critical work?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
