People For Member,

Today marks the beginning of Pride month. While we celebrate decades of
progress advancing equality for millions of people, the LGBTQ+ community
is still facing attacks from the Far Right.

In 2021 alone, more than 80 bills attacking the transgender community have
been introduced in dozens of states across the country, as the Far Right
seeks to demonize the trans community with unfounded threats designed to
incite fear among its constituents. And just today, on the first day of
Pride month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis chose to sign into law one of
these bills attacking the trans community.

In Congress, the Equality Act – legislation that would help prevent many
of the attacks taking place at the state level – has passed the House but
is stalled in the Senate. We need you to help pressure your senators to
act!

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and urge the Senate to pass the Equality Act
immediately to protect the LGBTQ+ community from far-right attacks! >>

The Equality Act is a landmark bill that would help ensure that LGBTQ+
people nationwide have consistent federal anti-discrimination protections
– protections that currently cover people based on their race, color,
national origin, sex, disability, and religion.

It is because of these very protections that the Equality Act has become a
favorite target of far-right members of Congress like Ted Cruz, Marjorie
Taylor Greene, Josh Hawley, Rand Paul, and others who continue to spew
lies about what it would do in order to further incite fear and anger in
their constituents.

But our voices outnumber and are stronger than theirs – join us in
speaking out in support of the Equality Act!

[ [link removed] ]Join countless people across the country in demanding that the Senate
pass the Equality Act NOW! >>

The Far Right is doing everything it can to prevent this bill from
becoming law and thousands of its supporters are contacting their senators
to try and stop this bill.

We cannot let them win.

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
