Happy Pride Month, Team!
June is all about celebrating the progress we made to protect and lift up the LGBTQIA+ community. From recent legislative wins to the history and leadership of activists like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, there’s so much to celebrate and recognize this month.
I am proud this month to live in a state where Michigan Democrats are working to expand civil rights and protections. Since Michigan Democrats took control of the state legislature, Democrats have:
* Officially declared June as Pride Month through a proclamation signed by Governor Whitmer
* Passed legislation to protect LGBTQIA+ youth and ban conversion therapy
* Expanded the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to protect LGBTQ+ Michiganders from discrimination in housing, the workplace, and in the larger community
* Established the first statewide LGBTQ+ commission to address issues facing Michigan’s LGBTQ+ community
Michigan Democrats are leading our state to expand and protect civil rights for all Michiganders, which is why we must come together to make sure these Democrats can continue to lead our great state.
When we come together, we win together, and we need to win big in November and send Democrats who are ready to fight for LGBTQIA+ Michiganders to Michigan’s state legislature, U.S. Congress, and the White House.
Will you stand with the Michigan Democratic Party today by making a contribution so we can help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in November? Together, we can keep fighting for LGBTQIA+ Michiganders. [[link removed]]
