John,
President Trump and his Administration wants you to believe that the “woke mind virus” is causing widespread “transgenderism” and that DEI is the enemy. They’re using word salads and conservative talking points to target trans people and spread disinformation.
The reality is that transphobia, homophobia and racism are the actual enemy – and their focus on rolling back our hard-won wins make that clear. When they cut federal funding for LGBTQ+ issues, they did it so they could score political points in a culture war they insist on waging.
You’ve heard a lot about our Defend Global Progress Fund, and I’m here to ask you again. We’ve been able to raise some essential funds, but we must keep going. Will you make another donation today to support this work? [[link removed]]

If having a woke mind means that you care about your fellow Americans, their right to exist and control their bodies, and that diversity, equity and inclusion are strengths - then we should all have a woke mind. Now is the time to stand together against hate, against the attempts to send us back to the 1950’s, against the tidal wave of hate threatening to pull us under.
Let’s not let radical homophobes and transphobes twist words and gaslight our nation to implement hateful, divisive policy. Rush a donation today to stand against hate – and ensure the Defend Global Progress Fund has the resources to keep working! [[link removed]]
