Dear John,

This month is an opportunity to honor our LGBTQ+ communities and recommit ourselves to fighting for fairness and equality for all. 

We must continue our work to build a society where all people are treated with dignity and respect, are free from fear and violence, and are protected against discrimination, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. 

Increasingly, our LGBTQ+ communities are under attack, and if we’ve learned anything from the past few years, it’s that we must never take the progress that we have achieved in this country for granted. Progress can be reversed if we don’t fight for it. 

That’s why I voted for the Equality Act, and why it is so important to expand our Democratic majorities in Congress so we can finally make this the law of the land. 

John, there is still much work to be done to bring justice to everyone in our state and country. So please stand with me against discrimination and intolerance. 

Together, 

Congressman Sanford Bishop
