"My goal is simple but urgent: to ensure LGBTQ+ people are not just present in politics but leading at every level — federal, state, and local. We’re facing a wave of legislation aimed at silencing our voices, and the best way to fight back is to lead, to be visible, and to make sure our voices are impossible to ignore."
-- Victory Fund President & CEO Evan Low in The Advocate

John, Evan knows what it's like to be an LGBTQ+ candidate and the value of LGBTQ+ voices in the halls of power. He's run for office before, and with Victory Fund's help, won some tough races!

And like Evan, LGBTQ+ people are fired up and ready to run. It’s because of investments from donors like you that we’re able to elect pro-choice LGBTQ+ candidates and change the face of government.

And once they're in office, they get to work defending our rights. Like Montana State Representatives Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell, who successfully convinced their colleagues to block an anti-trans bill in Montana. Like Michigan State Representative Noah Arbit, who passed an updated hate crimes bill that ensures LGBTQ+ people are legally protected. Like Georgia State Senator Kim Jackson, who's introduced a bill that would actually create equality in sports - without targeting or demonizing trans people. Like our Minnesota legislators, who successfully passed a bill protecting trans rights and have created a safe haven against Trump's hateful executive orders.

And now is not the time to slow down. We're endorsing pro-choice LGBTQ+ candidates running in 2025 and we're going to make history again. Donate today to keep the momentum going!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are over 1,389 pro-equality leaders in office working overtime to protect our rights. And we absolutely cannot give up the fight to elect even more: they need reinforcements! Pitch in today to keep the momentum going and elect more pro-choice LGBTQ+ leaders!

Thanks again for your support!
