John, now is the time for action.
Dear John,
In 2018, there were 41 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in states across the country. In just the first three months of 2022, there were nearly 240 - most of them targeting trans people. Twenty-four of those anti-trans bills have been enacted so far, including eleven that go into effect *tomorrow.*
I know this isn't what most people want to hear during Pride month. We want this to be a time of celebration for our community. But let's not forget how Pride originated: with Black and Brown trans activists fighting back against oppression. The best way we can celebrate them is to continue their legacy.
On this last day of Pride, honor trans activists of the past and present. Make a gift to the National Center for Transgender Equality. Your donation helps to sustain our work to build a more equitable world for trans people.

Today is Give OUT Day, a national day of giving to LGBTQ organizations. Our goal is to raise $30,000, and we need supporters like you to help get us there today. Your gift will support our work to fight back against anti-trans discrimination and win policies that concretely improve the lives of trans people across the country. Together, we know we can build a better society that affirms our dignity - a place where we can live our best lives.
The reality is that anti-trans legislators won't stop trying to erase us. But when trans people and our allies unite, we're stronger. Will you join us today?
