[[link removed]] [[link removed]]Friend,

Every day seems to bring something new and it feels harder to keep up with
everything happening around us — so, we made something just for you that we hope
will help!

Introducing HRConnects, your new virtual toolkit for keeping up the fight for
LGBTQ equality at home! Starting today and going forward, we will be sending you
our latest resources, key news updates, action items and other ways to stay
engaged — consider this your one-stop shop for our crucial work.

The 2020 election will be the most important election yet, and what we all do in
the next few months matters, Friend. You are the key
to our success, so we hope you’ll stay with us and use HRConnects to remain
involved in our fight.

Thank you for all you do.

[[link removed]]Your support has a huge impact — just look at Virginia!


[[link removed]]After months of hard work on the ground (and years of effort before that), your support helped pass the Virginia Values Act
[[link removed]] — a comprehensive, bipartisan bill that expands non-discrimination protections
for LGBTQ people and adds all-new protections in employment and public
accommodations for all Virginians. Real change is possible when we fight hard for it!
