With the far-right’s coordinated attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights and representation, we can’t expect anyone to offer us a seat in the halls of power — we have to claim it.
Sarah McBride is no stranger to firsts.
In 2012, Sarah was the first openly trans woman to work at the White House, as an intern for President Obama.
In 2016, she was the first openly trans person to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
And in 2020, Sarah became the first openly trans person elected to a State Senate, chosen by her neighbors in the first district of Delaware (which just so happens to be the first state to have signed the U.S. Constitution).
But she can’t keep breaking barriers without our help. With the far-right’s coordinated attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights and representation, we can’t expect anyone to offer us a seat in the halls of power — we have to claim it.
In six days, Sarah will face her biggest test yet: securing the Democratic nomination to represent Delaware in the U.S. House. Can you donate $5 (or any amount) to Sarah’s historic campaign before Tuesday’s primary to get her one big step closer to becoming the first openly trans member of Congress?
