People For Member,

Expanded civil rights protections for the LGBTQ+ community are finally
within reach. But your activism will be essential to the next part of the
process.

Two years ago the House passed the Equality Act, a bill that would extend
fundamental civil rights protections to the LGBTQ+ community to prevent
discrimination in individuals’ daily lives. This year – with Democratic
majorities in both houses of Congress – we are poised to take a giant leap
toward true equality for every American, no matter their sexual
orientation or gender identity. The House vote is expected as early as
tomorrow, so we must act quickly!

Act without delay! >>

While the LGBTQ+ movement has made great strides over the years, LGBTQ+
people still aren't guaranteed nationwide the same federal protections
from discrimination that protect people based on their race, color,
national origin, sex, disability, and religion. It’s vital that we ensure
equal protection for everyone under the law, particularly in light of the
far-right’s continued attacks on both LGBTQ+ rights and the Equality Act
itself.

And like the fight for marriage equality, the promise of “equality under
the law” has faced fierce opposition from the Right.

Far-right House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) – who has a
history of anti-transgender statements – recently declared “war” on the
Equality Act, falsely accusing it of attacking women’s rights and being a
smokescreen for religious discrimination.^[1] This kind of anti-gay
gaslighting is precisely why we need the Equality Act to be passed
immediately.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the House of Representatives that the Equality Act needs their
vote today! >>

There is so much left to be done to achieve full equality and true justice
for people across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and the Equality Act is the next
crucial step. Please join us as we keep the drumbeat going until this bill
is signed into law.
