Friend,

After the gut-wrenching decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it's clear that other fundamental rights -- like the freedom to marry -- could be next on the chopping block.

My House colleagues and I recently passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify marriage equality into federal law and ensure marriage rights for LGBTQ+ Americans and interracial couples. Add your name if you agree: Marriage equality must be the law of the land.

I was heartened to see the Respect for Marriage Act garner bipartisan support, because marriage isn't about political parties or power plays. It's about love, freedom, and respect.

Too many people in this country have been systemically criminalized for who they love. It's on us to protect each other and future generations of Americans, since it's clear the Supreme Court won't.

Now and forever, marriage equality should be enshrined in federal law. Sign on today to support the Respect for Marriage Act.

With you,

Dean
