John,

We recently launched our Presidential Appointments Initiative – our effort to ensure that LGBTQ voices are represented at all levels of government, including appointed officials. But I wanted to talk to you about what representation means – who helps us get this work done. Hint: it’s donors like you! Will you make a generous donation to support our Presidential Appointments Initiative today?

But don’t just take me at my word for why having an LGBTQ voice in power matters. A Daily Beast reporter asked past LGBTQ appointees: without the presence of LGBTQ appointees, would the Obama administration have advanced so far on LGBTQ issues?

Here’s what two of our past appointees answered:

As Raffi and Eric said, having an LGBTQ voices in the room makes a huge difference. When our voices are heard, it not only changes the way LGBTQ people are perceived but improves the everyday lives of people everywhere.

It’s essential that the next Administration prioritizes LGBTQ voices and appoints LGBTQ people to key positions. But without your support, we can’t do this essential work. Donate today!

Thanks for standing with us –

Ruben J. Gonzales
