Pride is more than a parade. We can celebrate, protect, and support the LGBTQ+ community by electing more candidates who stand for LGBTQ+ rights — this and every month. These candidates will face unique opposition this cycle because of who they are, so they need our support now.
Are you ready to step up for Democratic pro-choice LGBTQ+ women running for office everywhere? Donate now:
John,
The rights of LGBTQ+ Americans are under direct attack by elected officials whose sworn duty it is to protect them. Transphobic legislation in particular is on the rise, and EMILYs List women are fighting to stop this hateful movement in its tracks.
This is about so much more than Pride Month — this is about our ability to embrace our truest selves and live safely and freely when we do.
Protecting the LGBTQ+ community starts with electing more LGBTQ+ and allied candidates to higher office. It's that simple.
If you're ready to step up for LGBTQ+ candidates and communities, donate now.
Working at EMILYs List, I know that every candidate we help elect believes that I, a queer woman, have the inalienable right to exist and thrive. I know that electing EMILYs List women like Reps. Sharice Davids (KS-03) and Angie Craig (MN-02), State Sen. Sarah McBride (DE-AL), State Rep. Lorena Austin (AZ-HD09), and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (WI) to fight for us makes this country a little more free for everyone.
EMILYs List-endorsed women have broken barriers and made history, but they didn't achieve any of those landmarks alone. They got to where they are through the consistent and dedicated support of this community and the communities around them.
Every candidate listed above is up for election or reelection this year, and each of them faces unique scrutiny and opposition because of who they are. LGBTQ+ candidates need our help more than ever, and we have to get to work NOW.
Donate now to help elect more LGBTQ+ women up and down the ballot:

Thanks, and happy Pride,
