John,

Throughout the beginning of 2022, with the earliest primaries of this election cycle, we’ve been heavily focused on Texas as we fight to Flip the South and build progressive power in a region of the country too often ignored and written off.

Today I’m reaching out about another critical fight facing us in the state: as we speak, Texas politicians are blatantly attacking the very existence and identity of transgender Americans, and it’s up to us to stop them.

“Gov. Greg Abbott told state health agencies in Texas on Tuesday that medical treatments provided to transgender adolescents, widely considered to be the standard of care in medicine, should be classified as ‘child abuse’ under existing state law.” - The New York Times

Critical issues, like the rights of the LGBTQ community, show why it is so important to Flip the South and elect progressive candidates across Texas.

With your support, candidates like Beto O’Rourke, Jessica Cisneros, Greg Casar, and Jasmine Crockett can bring change at the local, state, and federal levels across Texas, and have their state lead the way in protecting LGTBQ Americans from discrimination.

Will you rush a donation to DFA right now to help us take on anti-LGBTQ right-wing Republicans and move Texas towards a more inclusive future?

Under Republican power, Texas has made headlines for all the wrong reasons: their attacks on reproductive justice, the racist focus on suppressing the right to vote, efforts to stop teaching America’s actual history in public schools, and now their attacks on the rights of transgender youth.

This is one of many steps taken by Republicans in Texas and across the nation to erase transgender individuals and keep them from receiving the medical care they need.

These policies threaten the very identity and existence of transgender youth and it’s up to us to stand in solidarity with them and fight like hell to take power away from politicians attacking them.

Transgender individuals and all LGTBQ people deserve the same protections as any other American. That's why we need strong leaders running on a progressive agenda in office throughout the South.

Protecting the rights of our transgender friends, neighbors and loved ones is an important part of challenging Republican power in the South.

Can you help DFA elect Beto O’Rourke, Jessica Cisneros, Greg Casar, and Jasmine Crockett as we work to take power away from anti-LGBTQ right-wing Republicans?

Thank you for supporting the trans community right now.
