John,
As I sat down to write this email to you all, I found it hard to start it like those in year’s past. 2020 has been a year unlike any other. We have collectively faced challenges like the COVID health crisis, the continued fight against racial injustice, and unprecedented unemployment and housing insecurity.
On top of all of that, we saw more transgender people killed in violent attacks than in any other year since we started tracking these types of deaths, continued attacks from the Donald Trump Administration, and threats from state lawmakers to roll back our rights. It’s been exhausting. But, it has also been incredibly motivating. And we couldn’t have done it without you.
Will you help us start 2021 stronger by making a donation today?
That motivation has also helped us achieve some major wins. Wins like the Supreme Court decision affirming that employers cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of their gender identity. Wins like the passage of the Virginia Values Act which contains some of the most comprehensive anti-discrimination laws in the country. These wins were products of our team’s hard work, and your dedication to making equality a reality for trans people. Your generosity fuels our work every day, and we need you to help once more.
Please make your end of year gift today to help us continue our transformative work.
If this year has taught us anything, it’s that we all need to stick together when things are rough. Now, more than ever, we must come together to fight for trans equality. If we do, we know 2021 will be a year of countless wins to build upon for generations.
Sincerely,
Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen
Deputy Executive Director
