Nine years ago today, the Supreme Court affirmed the right of same-sex couples to marry in one of the most important, inspiring cases in modern history.

Obergefell v. Hodges was a resounding victory for equality, tolerance, and love.

But if we’ve learned one thing from the current SCOTUS bench, it’s that the Court cannot be trusted to respect precedent or protect our rights.

In fact, in the Court’s decision to overturn Roe just two years ago, Clarence Thomas name-checked Obergefell and suggested it should be revisited.

There are a lot of reasons we need to keep the Senate blue, and Democrats having a say in future SCOTUS nominations is a critical check on the far-right’s ability to further strip us of our rights.

So today, on the 9 year anniversary of Obergefell, will you please donate $9 (or whatever you can) to help me defeat Republican Larry Hogan and keep the Senate in Democrats’ hands?

In solidarity,
