Dear Friend, Today, we are excited to announce our Official Voter Registration Partner for 2024 -- When We All Vote! Together, we're on a mission to strengthen our democracy by ensuring that each and every voice is heard in this year’s election. From the legacy of LGBTQ+ trailblazers to the power of queer youth today, there is strength in our community — and we have the numbers to bring that energy to the ballot box in 2024. Our increased visibility and political power also means our rights are under attack, especially in the South, where an estimated 35% of LGBTQ+ Americans live. Last year, more than 500 state bills targeting our community were introduced, and 75 became law. Many of these laws target queer youth and put young trans people at risk: 21 laws restrict gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ youth. Ten laws limit educational content or the use of pronouns aligning with students’ identities. Over 20 states are suing to avoid complying with updated Title IX rulings meant to protect LGBTQ+ students.
Friend, our votes are not just important -- they are decisive. We can determine who is elected from the courthouse to the White House. But only if we vote.
