Friend,

Just two months ago, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority cruelly stripped away abortion rights, signaling that other fundamental rights are next on the chopping block. 

Once again, the bigotry of far-right justices threatens rights and privileges that the LGBTQ+ community, interracial couples, and families across the nation rely on. The Respect for Marriage Act is a step toward adding stability and certainty for these couples, children, and families.

That’s why we need to stay in this fight. To protect our freedom, future, and families we need our senators to safeguard our right to marry. 

Tell your senators to lead with compassion and pass the Respect for Marriage Act.

Here’s exactly how the Respect for Marriage Act protects our right to marry: 

• Repeals the antiquated Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which narrowly defined marriage and banned federal recognition of same-sex marriage
• Codifies marriage equality under federal law, protecting couples regardless of the state they were married in
• Secures additional legal protections, designating the authority to pursue enforcement actions, and creating a private right of action for any individual harmed by a violation of this provision

The Senate is expected to vote on the Respect for Marriage Act any day now. If our senators come forward with compassion and take this crucial step to protect the LGBTQ+ community, the bill’s next stop will be President Biden’s desk, where he will sign it into law.

The lives of people in the LGBTQ+ community (and beyond) have been politicized for far too long. It’s time to put people over politics and ensure that marriage equality remains the law of the land.

Protect our families, freedom, and future: Write a letter to your senators today.

Sending love,

NextGen America
