John,
Election Day 2025 is a big day for the trans community. From school boards determining protections for trans kids in schools, to city councils weighing laws around our public safety, local leaders can greatly impact the lives of trans people.
That’s why A4TE is proud to announce our 2025 endorsements! Our endorsed candidates will fight for our community every day. Some are incumbents running for re-election; others are political outsiders running for change. All of them are worthy of your vote. I hope you will lend them your support.

A4TE-endorsed candidates work every day to advance the rights and representation of trans people. The best way to ensure our voices are heard in government is to send our own voices to those halls. And the best way to support that work is to donate to A4TE today. Our nationwide team of electoral experts are identifying, collaborating with and promoting exciting trans and ally candidates in critical races that impact all our lives.
Support that work with a recurring gift today! [[link removed]]
I ask for a recurring gift because this work doesn’t stop the day after Election Day. On that day, we’ll begin preparing for the 2026 election. And after that election, we prepare for 2027. This work never stops just as the movement for trans rights never stops. So please consider a gift that supports us, election after election! [[link removed]]
With love and solidarity,
