John:

With all the negative headlines right now, we wanted to share some quotes from LGBTQ+ lawmakers on the frontlines who are working to defeat anti-trans bills. They're bravely speaking out to defend trans and nonbinary rights in our state legislatures. It's clear we need to send them reinforcements ASAP!

If you agree, help us defend these amazing candidates - and elect so many more - by making a donation today!

And these leaders aren't alone. In Iowa, our state legislators - including Aime Wichtendahl, the first out trans person elected to the state legislature - rang the alarms about a bill that removes gender identity from state civil rights protections. In the U.S. Congress, our LGBTQ+ members were instrumental in pointing out the harmful applications of anti-trans bills. And that's just the start!

These LGBTQ+ leaders are the ones pushing for change, and ensuring that LGBTQ+ lives aren’t forgotten when policy discussions happen. Out leaders like these are why we work so hard – we know they’re going to work just as hard for our rights.

Our candidates made the choice to step up and run despite the hatred - they're incredibly brave. We're working overtime to make sure they WIN. Let them know you're standing with them. Donate now!

Thanks,
