I’m about to ask you for $15 to help unseat anti-LGBTQ, pro-gun Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for good. But first, I hope you’ll let me explain why. >>

I’m a survivor of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Florida.

On this day, 6 years ago, my life changed forever when my best friends Drew Leinonen and Juan Guerrero, and 47 others were murdered.

Some of my memories from that night are lost behind a traumatic fog, but there are others that are crystal clear.

I remember dancing, Juan’s goofy laugh, Drew’s arm around me.

I remember hearing every single one of the 110 rounds the gunman pumped into the club to kill LGBTQ people like me.

I remember being glued to the television, waiting to see if my best friends survived the attack.

I remember the heartbreak of their parents when they learned their children didn’t make it.

But the sad truth is: my story isn’t unique.

I’m not the first person who has lost loved ones in a shooting fueled by hate. There are people just like me in Charleston, Pittsburgh, San Diego, El Paso, Buffalo, and so many more.

49 people died that night -- but Governor Ron DeSantis is more concerned with SILENCING LGBTQ students in schools than making sure a catastrophe like this never happens again.

I’m determined to honor my best friends and all the victims’ legacies with action. That’s why I’m working with BAWN to BOOT DeSantis out of office, ELECT gun safety champions, and finally ban assault weapons. But we need your help. We need to raise $25,000 today in honor of the 49 stolen from us on June 12, 2016. Can I count on you to chip in $15 now to help us rush money to DeSantis’ challengers who will champion LGBTQ rights and gun safety reforms? >>

I’m livid.

DeSantis and Florida Republicans care more about regulating queer kids than deadly assault weapons.

That’s why they signed the horrendous “Don’t Say Gay” law to silence LGBTQ students and put them in danger from hate-filled attacks.

As a proud gay man and survivor of the Pulse Nightclub shooting, I’m fighting tooth and nail to put a stop to DeSantis’ homophobic law.

That's why I'm working with BAWN to THROW DeSantis out of office -- to keep our families safe!

If we’re going to defeat DeSantis and his biggoted allies, we need to hit our goal and raise $25,000 before midnight. So, I’m humbly asking one last time: Will you rush $15 before our crucial midnight deadline to help us oust DeSantis, stand up for LGBTQ+ Floridians like me, and elect candidates who have the guts to ban assault weapons? It would mean so much to me to have your support. >>

Chip in $15 now >> Chip in $25 now >> Chip in $50 now >> Chip in $100 now >> Chip in another amount now >>

Thank you,
