John,
The Supreme Court is being asked to reconsider its landmark 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which established the constitutional right of same-sex couples to marry nationwide.
This threat comes from Kim Davis—the former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after Obergefell. She was sued and lost. But now her lawyers are urging the Court to go even further: to overturn the decision entirely.
In their petition, Davis’s legal team calls Obergefell “egregiously wrong,” “deeply damaging,” and based on a “legal fiction.”1
If the Supreme Court takes this case and rules against Obergefell, millions of LGBTQ+ Americans could have their rights ripped away overnight.
We can’t afford to wait and see. The far right has made it clear: no civil right is safe unless we organize to protect it.
That’s why the Squad Victory Fund is all-in — backing progressive champions who are defending our fundamental rights and pushing back against right-wing extremism. But we can’t do it without grassroots power. That’s where you come in.
Can you chip in $3 or more today to help us protect marriage equality and build the movement that will defend our rights—now and in the future?
