John,
The Trump administration is on the cusp of instituting a proposed rule
that would strip away protections against discrimination from
virtually all U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant
programs. And we will not stand by as it tries to discriminate.

If implemented, this rule would allow for blatant discrimination
against LGBTQ people, women, religious minorities and nonreligious
people. These are our family members, friends, and neighbors who could
be turned away from services ranging from childcare, substance abuse
treatment, after school programming, health care and
more-services that all of our families need to survive and
thrive.
HHS administers over $500 billion in taxpayer dollars each year to
protect and preserve the health and human dignity of the millions of
people its programs serve, including the most vulnerable people in our
communities. Agencies that take government money to serve the public
shouldn't get to pick and choose whom they will serve. These
services must be available to any eligible person in need.
We all pay the price when it comes to government-sanctioned
discrimination. Will you stand with us and let the administration know
you reject their attempts to discriminate?
Share your comments and help us create a wave of opposition and reject
this dangerous proposal.

Together, we can fight this attack on our communities.
In Solidarity,
Mara Keisling
