John, Today, after nearly two years since its first passage in the House, the Equality Act has been reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives! This is a critical moment for the future of LGBTQ+ equality. With pro-equality legislators in the majority in both chambers of Congress--and the commitment of the Biden-Harris Administration--the Equality Act is poised to become the law of the land, finally giving nondiscrimination protections to our LGBTQ+ loved ones in employment, housing, education, credit, and public accommodations. I’m not going to lie to you -- this is going to be a hard-fought battle, but I believe we can win. Here are the two crucial actions to take right now: - Contact your Representative and urge them to vote YES to pass the Equality Act. Take a moment to do that, right away, at pflag.org/equalityact.
- Make an urgent donation to PFLAG National, right now, to fuel our advocacy as we unite the voices of thousands of parents, family members, and allies in the fight for full legal protections for our LGBTQ+ loved ones. Take a moment to give right now at pflag.org/equalitygift.
The PFLAG National team is shaping influential messages, lining up persuasive messengers, and galvanizing the troops to ready for battle and reach legislators who can make full protection from discrimination a reality for ours and future generations with passage of the Equality Act. Please, take a moment, right now, to contact your Representative and ask them to vote YES on the Equality Act. Then, make a gift of any amount to PFLAG National today. Let's ready ourselves to fight for what’s right: True equality under the law for LGBTQ+ people and their families. This is a fight for our lives. Are you in? Let’s do this -- together, Brian K. Bond, Executive Director PFLAG National P.S. Your gift today will support educational programs like our upcoming PFLAG Academy Online session, The Equality Act: Taking Action to Advocate for Crucial Legislation, on March 24th at 8:30pm Eastern Time. I hope you’ll sign up to learn the many ways you can take action to support the Equality Act. |
