John, did you hear the news? Democrats in Congress sent the Respect for Marriage Act to President Biden's desk – and he's officially signed it into law! Now, every single state in the nation will be federally required to recognize same-sex marriages issued in other states.

LGBTQ+ activists have spent decades organizing and advocating for this type of legislation. It represents a transformative step forward – one that is far overdue. But at the same time that Democrats are moving our country into the future, ultra-conservative Justices on the Supreme Court are scheming to push us backward.
|
The Supreme Court is set to rule on major cases in the months ahead – and experts are warning that their rulings could undo years of progress. The ultra-conservative radicals in the majority have made it clear that they're going to do everything within their power to undermine all the rights we care about – LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, reproductive rights, and so much more.
|
So even as we celebrate the Respect for Marriage Act, we cannot step off the gas even for a moment. That's why we're asking 10,000 Democrats across the country to make their voices heard for civil rights and progress. So please, add your name before 11:59 p.m. to thank Democrats for passing the Respect for Marriage Act and tell the Supreme Court that you won't go back – no matter what.
