John, like many, we’ve been celebrating Dr. Rachel Levine’s nomination to serve as President Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health. Despite her unquestionable qualifications and experience leading throughout the pandemic, bigots like this one are only focusing on her gender identity. This message we received is just one example of the terrible attacks we’re receiving (and we've removed the more offensive language):

Dr. Levine and other trans leaders often receive vitriol like this for living out and proud. And as her Senate confirmation hearing approaches, we know it will get worse. We're gearing up and committed to defending Dr. Levine during her confirmation, and will demand questions focus on her experience and qualifications – nothing else.

But to continue our work, we need your help. Take a stand against bigots like this and power our work with a donation. With your help, we can ensure Dr. Levine is confirmed and that trans voices are included throughout the federal government.

We must stand up for out leaders like Dr. Levine. Thank you for standing with us,

Elliot Imse
