John – The LGBTQIA community is under attack. In 2022 alone, more than 300 anti-LGBT bills have been introduced in state legislatures across 36 states.
You’ve seen a few of these bills make headlines in the last few months.

We also know the looming SCOTUS decision that is likely to strike down Roe v Wade lays a foundation to undermine many hard-won LGBT rights.
The time for Congress to act is NOW. We can circumvent these attacks by codifying explicit protections against LGBT discrimination into federal law through the Equality Act.
The House passed the Equality Act last year. Now it’s up to the Senate.
Currently, 49 Democrats are co-sponsoring the Senate bill waiting for it to be brought to vote. The only Democrat who hasn’t is Joe Manchin.
These are the 51 senators who are NOT currently supporting the Equality Act. Is your senator one of them?

If you see your senator’s name on this list, share this petition on social media and tag them to ask for their support on this bill.
If your senator IS one of the co-sponsors, reach out to say “Thank you,” and ask them to pressure their Senate colleagues to act.
Time is running short. If we don’t pass the Equality Act this year, and Democrats lose control of either chamber of Congress in the midterms, we will likely see an unprecedented rollback of LGBTQIA rights.
We can’t stand by and let that happen. Ask your senator to pass the Equality Act NOW.
