Good News: a few days ago, the Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act. What now?
John,
This summer, when the far-right extremist Supreme Court overturned Roe, it became apparent that they paved the way to strip away more fundamental rights — including marriage equality. But, when it comes to our rights, Cori won’t ever back down.
A few days ago, Congress took an important step in protecting marriage equality from far-right attacks when the Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act. This piece of legislation:
✅ ensures critical protections for same-sex and interracial marriages,
✅ enshrines federal marriage equality,
✅ provides marriage protections at the state level, and;
✅ repeals the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act.
Cori was proud to vote in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act to protect marriage equality and ensure that people in St. Louis and across the country can marry whomever they love. Now, she’s ready to do it again and send this landmark legislation to the President’s desk.
This week, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. The outcome of this case could provide a constitutional basis for businesses to discriminate against the LGBTQIA+ community.
With unrelenting attacks on our rights, we must ensure that we have leaders like Cori, who continue fighting for all of us. Will you make a contribution of $5 to help us continue to amplify Cori’s message that we must protect the rights of our LGBTQIA+ communities?
Chip in $5
We cannot allow this far-right extremist Supreme Court to strip another fundamental right, but when we fight together we can handle anything the Court throws at us.
In Solidarity,
— Team Cori
