With a Democratic White House and a Democratic Senate, we can finally pass this life-saving civil rights legislation into law.
Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in a landmark decision that employers can't fire someone based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. This was a historic win for equality and justice in America — but there's more work to be done.
Congress must take the next step to protect LGBTQIA+ people from discrimination not only in the workplace but in housing, other public accommodations, health care, education, and all across America. That's why I helped re-introduce the Equality Act in the House last week.
Will you sign your name now in support of the Equality Act? With a Democratic White House and a Democratic Senate, we can finally pass this life-saving civil rights legislation into law.

The Equality Act is personal for me and my family.
A few years ago, my beautiful child Janak told me that they were non-binary. As a mother, I came to understand that for the first time, my child finally felt genuinely free to be who they are.
With that freedom comes a responsibility for us as legislators — to legislate with love and not fear. As the proud mom of a transgender child, I know how much work remains to ensure that all LGBTQIA+ people can live their lives with real equality and full civil rights in this country. I stand with my child and every LGBTQIA+ person in America as I fight to pass the Equality Act and finally send it to the president's desk.
Sign your name if you're with me: We must pass the Equality Act so LGBTQIA+ Americans can live freely as themselves and free from discrimination.
