John,
I recently joined Florida state Representative Michele Rayner, Kansas state Representative Stephanie Byers, Executive Director of Equality Texas Ricardo Martinez and Director of Advocacy & Civic Engagement of Equality Federation Vivian Topping to talk about the slate of hate-based legislation sweeping the states.
Despite the awful legislative attacks on trans youth this year, I was heartened to hear from our out elected officials who are working tirelessly to ensure the bigots don't succeed. You can listen to their conversation here - and while you're there, take a minute to make a split donation to Equality Federation and LGBTQ Victory Institute. All donations will be matched up to $5,000! [[link removed]]

Victory Institute and Equality Federation are working tirelessly to ensure out elected officials and advocates have the platform, support and know-how to defeat hate-based legislation. As Rep. Byers notes, we're ensuring that out voices echo in the halls of power. But our leaders are often in the minority and face steep up-hill battles, including dealing with governors and leadership determined to pass anti-equality legislation - even if they have to do it through sneaky legislative tactics!
Our organizations are dedicated to training and supporting LGBTQ leaders who will fight for all of us. Who will ensure that LGBTQ kids are legally protected, that all LGBTQ people have the same rights afforded to everyone else. As you can see from the panel, they're putting in the work. But we must send them help! Make a split donation today to support Equality Federation and LGBTQ Victory Institute. And don't forget - your donations will be matched dollar for dollar!

Thank you for standing with us,
