Five leaders of the hate group the Proud Boys are currently on trial, John. Their crimes include storming the U.S. Capitol and attempting to overthrow the Presidential election results. The prosecutor even called them the "lords of war".

Anti-democracy and anti-LGBTQ groups like the Proud Boys are also training their members to run for local office - some of them will be on the ballot this year. Donate today to ensure they don't win local seats and spread their hatred!

In addition to trying to overthrow the U.S. government, here's what the Proud Boys stand for:

• They protest drag shows, Drag Queen story hours and other pro-LGBTQ events (including Pride marches!), often carrying weapons and signs calling LGBTQ people "groomers";
• They push for anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ bills in state legislatures, city councils and school boards across the country;
• They peddle anti-choice myths and have threatened abortion clinics and providers; and
• They're comfortable cozying up to white supremacy groups like the Oath Keepers militia and Patriot Front.

Look, the Proud Boys are downright scary - we absolutely can't allow them to hold any public office. Just imagine the horrific legislation they'd pass if they won! But we have the antidote to their extremism: beating them at the ballot box and electing more LGBTQ leaders. Pitch in today to beat the Proud Boys in 2023!

Thanks for chipping in,
