Bigots have spent the last two years launching wave after wave of anti-LGBTQ attacks and introducing horrific anti-LGBTQ bills – but these LGBTQ candidates have stepped up to fight back. We need their voices on the campaign trail – and in office! – more than ever before.
We’re working on increasing our endorsements and offering more campaign services to our currently endorsed candidates. If you can pitch in today to help us endorse more of these amazing candidates and help them win, we appreciate it! [[link removed]]
