John,
We have some exciting news to share! Yesterday, we officially announced our endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden in 2020. We’ve never done this before, but the need to declare our support for someone who has a strong agenda for addressing the issues that face transgender Americans and a record of getting big things done could not be more important at this time in our country’s history. The decision to endorse Joe was an easy one, and we couldn’t be more pleased to be on Team Biden as the race to the White House gets underway.
Joe Biden is the advocate and president we need at this consequential moment. He has the temperament, the experience, and wisdom to lead our country. Throughout his career in public service, work as a private citizen through the Biden Foundation, and now his campaign to lead our nation, he has time and time again demonstrated his commitment to transgender people and the LGBTQ community. After three years of constant attacks from the Trump administration, we need to restore dignity and empathy to the office of the presidency. We need someone we know we can rely on to have our interests at heart. And that person is Joe Biden.
See, in his own words, how he will fight for transgender equality as president.
Joe Biden has a history of ensuring that transgender people are protected, including protections for transgender women as part of the reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act he authored. Over the years he has consistently made clear that ‘Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time.’ With Joe Biden, we know we will be engaged, we will be seen, and we will not be erased.
With hope,
Mara Keisling
