John,

My daughter Evie is one of the strongest people I know. When she came out as trans seven years ago, I was so proud of her for being able to live as her authentic self.

The problem is, Republican bigots across the country don't care about people like Evie. They're actively trying to tear families apart and punish people for being LGBTQ. More than 250 anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced in state legislatures this session by Republicans, and more anti-trans bills became law in 2021 than the last 10 years combined.

I'm proud to say Evie is my daughter, and we need more Democrats in office who believe that LGBTQ people deserve love, compassion, and equal rights.

Can you chip in to support fighters for LGBTQ rights?

These attacks on trans people are personal to my family. Republicans will do anything to demonize people who are different, and I won't stand for it.

We need to make sure our Democratic majority stays in place in 2022 so we can keep fighting for equality for all.

Can I count on you to rush a contribution to protect LGBTQ rights?

We won't go back.

- Marie
