John,

In a second, I’m going to ask you to make an End of Quarter donation to support Victory Fund’s sprint to the November Elections (you can do it now if you want!). I want you to know what you’ll be supporting: future rainbow waves.

Now, you know that LGBTQ+ rights, the right to choose and democracy are on the ballot this year. Here's what that looks like on the ground: Tammy Baldwin, Mondaire Jones, Will Rollins, Angie Craig, Sharice Davids, Chris Pappas and Eric Sorensen must win if we're going to secure pro-equalities in the U.S. Congress. LGBTQ+ candidates are going to be key if we're going to win pro-LGBTQ majorities in the Wisconsin State Assembly, the Arizona State House and the New Hampshire State House. In the Florida and Iowa state houses, our candidates could prevent bigoted super-majorities. At the local level, our school board candidates are facing down anti-LGBTQ groups like Moms for Liberty and the Proud Boys.

And we've seen what happens when our candidates DON'T win or when pro-equality majorities aren't in power. The anti-equality majority in the U.S. House has spent their time making hateful speeches about trans people, while attaching anti-LGBTQ riders to so many bills. LGBTQ+ kids are suffering because of trans healthcare bans, sports bans and forced outing bills. Hateful book bans are stripping LGBTQ+ voices from library shelves.

But the LGBTQ+ candidates we elect this year can stop this hate. They're the first line of defense against anti-equality legislation in their bodies. These legislators work overtime to ensure our cities, towns and school boards promote pro-equality legislation and help change perceptions of LGBTQ+ people in their communities.

That’s why we need your support NOW: to ensure we have the resources to push back against extremists and elect these amazing LGBTQ+ candidates! Pitch in today to power the 2024 rainbow wave!

With over 440 endorsed candidates on the ballot this November, we're not slowing down. We have just over 30 days to send a clear message that homophobia and transphobia won't swing voters, and that our rights are not to be trifled with. And when our candidates win, they going to ensure that LGBTQ+ rights and the right to choose are defended.

Our candidates are counting on us – and we’re counting on you. Donate today to power Victory Fund’s essential work and support the 2024 Rainbow Wave!

Thank you,

Sean Meloy
