Hey – Yesterday, we got a win.

The Supreme Court came down with a decision that made workplace discrimination on the basis of sexuality and gender identity illegal.

Put simply: No longer can LGBTQIA+ individuals be fired just for being who they are.

The case was championed by Aimee Stephens, a Trans woman, who decided to make equal justice the fight of her life. Aimee passed away earlier this year but we celebrate this victory – in the middle of Pride – in her honor.

And we recommit to the fight ahead. Because we know our work is far from over. Just days before this decision, the Trump Administration announced efforts to strip health care access for Trans Americans. And we face a country today where the average life expectancy of a Black Trans woman is 35 years old. 35 years old.

I’m proud to lead the Trans Equality Task Force in Congress. Fighting for the true equality of LGBTQIA+ Americans has been one of the fights of my career, and one I have prioritized since my first day in Congress.

I will do more than vote the right way on this issue as your next U.S. Senator – I will help lead the fight. I will show up by your side. And I will not rest until we have achieved equality for all.

So, I’m asking you to join our team! Will you sign up to volunteer and help us build the coalition we need? We have events every single day and countless ways for you to get involved to fight alongside us for justice for all. Even if you are from outside of Massachusetts, you can still make a difference. We need every hand on deck to see the change we need to see.

A member of our team will be in touch with you shortly. Grateful for your activism. Grateful for your support. Let’s continue fighting for justice.

— Joe
