And, because of your hard work, we are one step closer to ensuring that every
person is treated equally under the law.
Over the last week, thousands of members and supporters of the Human Rights
Campaign like you sprung into action — sending tens of thousands of calls and
emails to their members of Congress in support of the Equality Act. By coming
together, we showed our power as a community and as a movement.
Thank you so much for doing your part to change our nation for the better. And I
hope you will join me in thanking your delegate and our pro-equality leaders in
the House for their support — send a quick thank you note now!

With today’s momentum at our backs, we must now harness it for what is to come:
a major push for consideration and passage in the United States Senate. The
chamber just re-introduced this legislation this week, and we look forward to a
hearing and vote in the near future.
For the Equality Act to become law, we will need to push — and push hard. We
need every member of our Human Rights Campaign family to be a strong advocate
for the Equality Act, whether it is on social media, with your representatives,
or with your friends and loved ones.
Together, we can make the Equality Act and its clear, consistent
non-discrimination protections a reality for millions of LGBTQ people coast to
coast … but only if we fight for it with everything we have.
As we look ahead, please remember this: We have broad, unprecedented support for
the Equality Act. From an overwhelming majority of voters and hundreds of
members of Congress to an unprecedented number of businesses and organizations,
the vast majority of Americans — LGBTQ people and our allies — believe that
achieving equality is not only the right thing to do, it is a unifying issue for
our country.
No matter what opposition from extreme lawmakers we may hear in the coming
weeks, know that millions support us. And millions are counting on us to bring
victory home.
Thank you again for your fierce advocacy. Stay engaged and stay active in the
work to come.
In Unity,
