Friend:
You should’ve seen the energy!
On Tuesday, I joined dozens of AU allies and hundreds of grassroots activists, including clergy from a number of different faiths, outside the Supreme Court to rally for critical non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people. Together, we were a force to be reckoned with.
The Court heard arguments in three cases that will determine whether or not employers can fire someone because of who they are, who they love, or what they believe. The Court’s decision will affect the rights of all of us to live and work no matter what our boss’s religious beliefs are.

For me, the day was memorable and meaningful, because there was a spirit of inclusion and unity that I associate with the side of America I love. We stood shoulder to shoulder with one of the many marginalized communities we work on behalf of every day – and you should have seen the crowd react to our message! They really got it and were so with us.
Not everyone was able to make it to the Supreme Court for the rally – but that didn’t stop AU’s supporters from taking action. From all across this country, hundreds and hundreds of you signed on from afar to make your voices heard on this issue.
Thank you for being with us at the Court and every day! Your voices amplify our message, and your passion fuels us during these trying times.
With hope and determination,
