Today is Trans Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate the growing
representation of transgender people in business, the arts, and politics.
And when it comes to trans representation, it’s safe to say that we’ve
come a long way since I was a kid.

But this year’s Trans Day of Visibility hits differently than in years
past. This is a frightening time for so many in our country.

But we must remain firm in our values and our vision in this moment — and,
just as importantly, we should never give up on our ability to win over
more people to more fully see our humanity and support our rights. It’s
not always fair work, and it’s certainly not always easy work, but through
the power of our proximity we can still open the hearts and change the
minds of imperfect or unlikely allies.

That’s what we celebrate on this Trans Day of Visibility. Our visibility
not only has the ability to inspire one another. It also has the capacity
to push past the caricatures to invite more people in, to grow the tent of
allies, to defeat the hateful attacks, and to lay the foundation for
freedom and safety for trans people in every corner of our country and
every part of our globe.

Growing up, I never imagined that I would one day serve in public office —
let alone Congress — as my authentic self. But last November, because of
hundreds of thousands of voters and supporters in Delaware and across the
country, we shattered the national lavender glass ceiling and proved that
our democracy can be big enough for all of us.

And as the first trans member of Congress to be elected, the way I can
guarantee I’m not the last is to quite simply be the best member of
Congress that I can be. To continue to fight for what’s right and for who
needs it most. And to show that trans people are multi-dimensional human
beings.

That’s exactly what I plan to do — and I’m going to need your help every
step of the way.

Because in addition to Trans Day of Visibility, today is also important
for another reason. We’re coming up on a critical end-of-quarter
fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, after which we’ll have to
publicly report all of our fundraising so far this year.

you pitch in $5 to my campaign before midnight and help us
reach our $110,000 goal for the first quarter?
