John,

Yesterday, two Supreme Court Justices called for reexamining Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark decision for marriage equality, stating it has "ruinous consequences for religious liberty." And if that wasn't enough, Amy Coney Barrett’s extremist anti-LGBTQ record is one of the worst we've ever seen. Her appointment to the United States Supreme Court would dismantle LGBTQ equality. She:

• Defended the dissenters in Obergefell v. Hodges and argued against marriage equality;
• Took donations from hate groups that support the recriminalization of homosexuality in the United States;
• Stated that “marriage and family [is] founded on the indissoluble commitment of a man and a woman”;
• Suggested Title IX should be reviewed by lawmakers because it is used to defend trans Americans; and
• Misgendered trans people over the course of her career, including referring to trans women as “physiological males.”

We're terrified that Barrett and the other justices will destroy Justice Ginsberg’s legacy on LGBTQ equality. We're fighting to ensure the next President appoints the FIRST LGBTQ Supreme Court Justice during their term to balance anti-LGBTQ judges and protect LGBTQ rights. Help power our Presidential Appointments Initiative so we can appoint LGBTQ judges to the Supreme Court and other federal courts!

We can’t lose our highest courts to bigots like Barrett. We must ensure LGBTQ equality – and Justice Ginsburg’s legacy – is safe. Chip in today!

Thanks again,
