Look, we must ensure that LGBTQ people are fully represented and have a seat at many different tables. We’ve seen what happens when LGBTQ voices aren’t included in the conversation, and the resulting policies and legislation can have dire consequences.
To make sure our rights are preserved, we’re hard at work sorting through resumes so we can provide the incoming Biden administration with LGBTQ people qualified to serve at every level of the federal government. But if we don’t raise $6,250 more by midnight tonight, we can’t do our work to build a diverse, pro-equality government. We need your help! Make a tax-deductible donation to boost our work today!

Thanks again for making this the queerest government ever,

Subject: Undoing the damage:
Did you see this headline from The 19th ?
Trump has gutted LGBTQ+ rights. Could a Biden presidency undo the damage?
John, now that President Trump has been voted out of office, it’s time to start undoing the damage that his Administration inflicted – and what time is better than Giving Tuesday? And that means appointing LBGTQ voices at all levels of government – including Senate-confirmed positions, ambassadorships, the Supreme Court, and more! We’re working hard to make sure the Biden Transition team has a list of qualified LGBTQ names to consider. Will you chip in to power our work and support lasting equality today? [[link removed]]
Here’s what happened when LGBTQ voices weren’t included in the discussion: over 175 policy and rhetorical attacks were launched against the LGBTQ community by the Trump administration. Healthcare for trans service members was rolled back via tweet, all mentions of LGBTQ people and issues were removed from government websites, archaic healthcare restrictions were used to target trans people – and that’s just the start!
If we’re going to undo the damage done, we need qualified LGBTQ voices to get to work on Day 1 of the Biden-Harris Administration. And to sure these voices find their rightful place in government we need your help! Help Victory Institute raise $24,000 by midnight on Giving Tuesday by making a tax-deductible donation today!
