Dear MoveOn member,
Each June, we come together to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride, recognize our
shared humanity, and honor the fierce, bold leaders who have led the
charge to call for equality in the past and those who are trailblazers
today.
But so much work remains. Every day in communities all across the country,
LGBTQ+ people are targeted, harassed, humiliated, and worse—just for being
true to themselves.
Congress has failed to secure basic rights and protections for LGBTQ+
people. And in 2021 alone, dozens of Republican-backed laws have been
proposed in states across the country attacking people who are transgender
and gender-nonconforming, with a particular and ugly focus on attacking
trans kids.^1
So as we honor this year's Pride celebrations, we must also keep up the
fight for true liberation and against bigotry and hatred.
To commemorate Pride and share the message that the fight for equality
continues, we've just printed a big batch of these "Equality for All"
stickers, and we're giving them away for free—while supplies last.

The yearly commemoration of Pride began in the aftermath of the Stonewall
Uprising in June of 1969, when the LGBTQ+ community in New York City—led
by trans women of color, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia
Rivera—fought back against brutal police raids of queer bars and laws
designed to discriminate against the community.
In the decades since, the LGBTQ+ community in the United States has fought
tirelessly for equality and achieved some monumental victories—but the
work is far from done.
The road toward true equality is a long one, and there are steps we can
take now to clear a pathway and support the LGBTQ+ community.
First, we can continue to fight back against the GOP's obstruction in
Congress by eliminating the filibuster—a move which would open the door to
passing bills like the Equality Act as well as crucial legislation to
protect our democracy and the right to vote from Republican interference.
And we can fight at the ballot box as well by kicking bigoted, hateful
Republican elected officials out of office and electing progressive
leaders up and down the ballot who will fight for the rights of every
American, put a stop to hateful bills attacking the trans community, and
push our country forward.

sticker today, and displaying it proudly on your laptop, bike, car, or

Happy Pride! And thanks for all you do.
