John, you’ve been hearing from Mayor Annise Parker and Elliot Imse about the Trump Administration cutting federal funding for global programs. But I wanted to talk to you about my team – and the hard work we’ve put in to grow and protect equality.

When the last Trump Administration ended, we had one staffer (me!) and a small budget. Funding was tight – the Administration had ended or slowed a lot of pro-equality funding, and we had to significantly reduce their programming.
But we have rebuilt – and expanded. Victory Institute’s Global team is small, but incredibly mighty. Now a staff of four, in the last four years we have:
* Created a global network of over 5,000 LGBTQ+ leaders working in 11 different countries ;
* Ensured political parties and activists have the resources to defend and protect equality in their own countries ;
* Work with partners on the ground to ensure that they have the resources to promote and defend global equality ;
* Launched resources, guidelines and actionable steps that are used by some of the biggest names in global politics .
And we’ve built all that in just four short years. But with the Trump Administration’s spending cuts, our programming has come to a complete stop. We cannot continue to work – let alone expand – without urgent funding. Please, make a donation to the Defend Global Progress Fund to ensure we can keep working! [[link removed]]

I am incredibly proud of the work my team has done to protect and defend LGBTQ+ rights, and it is infuriating that it can be so easily undone. But I know we are not alone, and we have a fierce and proud community standing with us.
John, these cuts are devastating. But together, we can stand against President Trump. Please, make a donation to support this team and defend these programs from Trump’s cuts! [[link removed]]
