People For Member,
More than 80 bills pushing discrimination against transgender people have been filed in 2021 alone. And in much of the United States, LGBTQ+ people still aren’t explicitly protected from discrimination.
We can’t let anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers – or anyone – get away with any kind of discrimination.
If all of these discriminatory, anti-transgender bills were to be passed, it would be a catastrophe in the making for LGBTQ+ people everywhere. The best way to prevent these laws from being enacted at all would be for the Senate to pass the Equality Act – and to do so swiftly.
President Biden signed an executive order to combat discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation on his first day in office, and although that was important, it was only a first step, and it still wouldn’t prevent these state laws from going into effect.
LGBTQ+ people are at risk every day that the Equality Act’s passage is further delayed. We need the Senate to act now.
Add your name to support the Senate passing the Equality Act right away! >>
The opponents of equality are relentless – and that’s why we need to keep up the drumbeat of our support until we cross the finish line and ensure that everyone is protected, including LGBTQ+ people based on their gender identity or sexual orientation.
Thank you for all you do to support equal rights for everyone!
In solidarity,
Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
