βWe are doing this work here at home and around the globe, where LGBTQI+ community members are fighting for recognition of their fundamental human rights and seeking to live full lives, free from hate-fueled violence and discrimination.β
βPresident Joe Biden
Team, President Biden and Democratic governors around the country are fighting to support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community against GOP attacks that seek to strip away fundamental rights at every turn.
Just take a look at what theyβve achieved β
π³οΈβπ President Biden reversed the Trump-era βLicense to Discriminate," signed legislation protecting marriage for same-sex and interracial couples, and took historic steps to advance full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans.
π³οΈβπ Colorado Governor Jared Polis was the first openly gay man elected as governor in 2018, and in 2022, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek became the first openly lesbian governors in history!
π³οΈβπ Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was the first governor in Michigan to fly the Pride Flag β and she signed the first statewide law to prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ+ people.
π³οΈβπ North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed bills throughout his two terms that targeted LGBTQ+ youth, prevented teachers from creating safe and inclusive classrooms, and required individuals to use bathrooms that matched their gender on their birth certificate.
π³οΈβπ Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a statewide bill into law banning conversion therapy.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg!
On the other hand, last year, the GOP tried to pass a record 510 anti-LGBTQ+ bills! Now, in 2024, they have at least 285 bills already on the docket! And some of the most aggressive attacks are coming from Governors Desantis in Florida, Abbot in Texas, Lee in Tennessee, and Burgum in North Dakota.
The people fighting back against these hateful laws are our Democratic governors and President Biden β which is why we are sending them a card signed by 10,000 of our top supporters to thank them, and we still need your signature, %%FIRSTNAME(blank)%%.
Will you please add your name to our thank you card before midnight tonight? You can even leave them a personal message!
SIGN THE CARD!
