John,
Today, as we watch Donald Trump take office, we know these things remain true. No matter who holds the Presidency, committing to public service is a powerful act. Our elected leaders create change in our communities and shape the future. Being involved in government is not just about crafting policies or enacting legislation — it’s about ensuring that every voice is heard and every story is represented.
Today, as we watch a new chapter being written, it may be hard to remember that government should be a force for good. And today, we are reminded of the urgent need for LGBTQ+ voices in the halls of power. Our perspectives, resilience, and commitment to equity are essential to building a government that reflects the diversity of the people it serves. Now more than ever, we need leaders like you to step up, serve, and make your mark. Together, we can create a future that truly includes everyone.
That's why Victory Institute is expanding our free, online trainings and in-person LGBTQ+ Public Leadership Summits to ensure the LGBTQ+ community has the tools to run for office - and win. Sign up TODAY to learn more about how to launch your campaign, figure out how to elevate your political power, get tips on our trainings and so much more. Learn more and register here!
