John, this is NOT the way to celebrate Pride Month: This year, nearly 600 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills are making their way through state legislatures across the country.

These bills aim to ban books, erase LGBTQIA+ history, silence teachers, and deny basic rights to trans people. And while extremist lawmakers push their hate from the top, Run for Something is backing local leaders who'll fight back from the bottom.

If that's enough to convince you to support this work, will you chip in to our $50,000 end-of-quarter goal today? With your help, we could elect more incredible LGBTQIA+ candidates like these:

Alex King — Livonia City Council, MI. A proud LGBTQIA+ community member and AmeriCorps alum, Alex is fighting for renters, advocating for transit, and working to safeguard his fellow LGBTQIA+ citizens.

Rebecca Maurer — Cleveland City Council, OH. The first openly LGBTQIA+ woman to serve on the Cleveland City Council, Rebecca is holding landlords accountable and giving her neighborhoods the attention they deserve.

Representation like this matters — especially now. This Pride Month, we're fighting harder than ever to support and elect LGBTQIA+ leaders who know what's at stake and who'll fight like hell to protect their communities.

But doing that takes resources. That's why we're raising $50,000 before midnight on 6/30 to power that work — and why we need your help to reach this goal. Will you chip in now to support LGBTQIA+ candidates and help us meet our critical end-of-quarter goal?

Thank you.

P.S. We celebrated bold LGBTQIA+ local leadership this Pride Month with a live YouTube discussion. Hear from changemakers leading locally and loudly. 🎤🏳️‍🌈 Watch the recording here →
