Dear John,
Since
the day President Trump took office, he and his administration placed
vulnerable and marginalized communities—including transgender people—in their
cross-hairs.
It
started on inauguration day when the administration scrubbed all mentions of
LGBTQ people from the websites of the White House, Department of State, and
Department of Labor. And the Department of Health and Human Services just allowed
hospitals discriminating against LGBTQ patients to receive Medicare and
Medicaid funds.
We’ve
been keeping track of his major anti-LGBTQ attacks and this brings our list to
60. Enough is enough. Please help the
NCTE Action Fund undo the damage and work towards progress. Donate $60 today for each of his 60
anti-LGBTQ actions. We know the Trump Administration will not stop, so we will
not stop either.
Although
all of these actions feel personal, this last one struck a chord with me. Usually
for my birthday (today), I email you with a light hearted message. However, just
10 days ago, the Trump Administration launched their 60th attack. Today,
on my 60th birthday it feels different. The onslaught seems never
ending on trans folks across the country—students, service members, immigrants,
and those just trying to access health care. More than ever, we need to continue to fight. We need you. Donate
at least $60 now to help us hold the Trump Administration accountable now and
for the next year.
We
know that 60 is a lot. We know that more attacks are coming. And we know there
would be more if we weren’t all fighting together. Because of you, we’ve fought back on each and every one of those 60 actions. We need
you again for his next one. We won’t win every time—at least not yet—but with
your support today, we can continue to defend each and every attack lobbied
against us.
We
promise to continue our progress towards full justice and equality. And we hope
you will too. Thank you for your help.
In Solidarity,
