John,
History was made yesterday. With his announcement that he chose
Senator Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate, Joe Biden
reassured our country that the future is bright. Not only is Senator
Harris an extremely qualified choice, she also represents an historic
moment for our country. Senator Harris is the first Black VP candidate
on a major party ticket and the first South Asian American. Kamala
knows what it means to break barriers and forge the way for
underrepresented communities, and we couldn't be more excited
that she is on the ticket.
Earlier this year Senator Harris took the time to sit down with NCTE
Executive Director Mara Keisling to discuss why transgender rights
were important to her. Click here to watch the full interview!

We hope that the Biden administration will look to us as a partner to
advance the needs of transgender people in our country. It will take a
lot of hard work and resources, and we need your help to ensure we can
address trans needs on the campaign trail and in the next
administration.
Will you contribute $25, or whatever you can today, to help us convey
the needs of the trans community to the Biden-Harris administration
and the American public?

Senator Harris' experiences throughout her career have shaped
her passion to elevate the needs of marginalized people, including
transgender people. When she speaks about the challenges our community
faces, like the epidemic of violence particularly against Black trans
women, you can see the anguish on her face. This is personal to
Senator Harris, and we know as Vice President she will do whatever she
can to stymie these terrible attacks.
As District Attorney in San Francisco, Harris established the first of
its kind division to directly support transgender people who had been
victimized, providing much needed respect, understanding, and a safe
place where they would be treated with dignity, showing her commitment
to supporting communities like ours. She believes that no one deserves
to live burdened with fear of living as their true selves and with
unequal access to employment, housing, and healthcare. She will be a
true ally to our community in the White House, with a strong
commitment to fighting for the rights of the marginalized.
When Senator Harris spoke with Joe Biden yesterday, she said, "I
am so ready to go to work." We cannot wait to see what Joe and
Kamala can do. We know they are committed to supporting and advancing
the movement to ensure trans people achieve equal rights in all
aspects of life.
We look forward to working with the Biden/Harris administration to put
in the hard work that is necessary to achieve our goals. If you see
what we see in this amazing team, help us become a partner to the new
administration by making a contribution today.
