John:

I've been on the Political team at LGBTQ Victory Fund for the last six years, and we've never seen a wave of anti-LGBTQ bills this bad. We're only in the first month of year, and we're already set to surpass previous records. As of the 27th, over 235 anti-LGBTQ bills have already been introduced in state legislatures across the country and our community is facing a huge wave of hate.

An unprecedented amount of bigotry needs an unprecedented response. We can't afford to be complacent when our rights - and the rights of LGBTQ kids - are on the ballot. Will you rush a donation today to ensure Victory Fund hits our end of month deadline? We're ready to stand up to these bigots - are you with us?

To beat these bigots, we must build and maintain a bench of LGBTQ leaders, and it starts with electing them this year. Right now, my team and I are planning a massive effort to recruit, support and elect LGBTQ candidates in states like Louisana, Mississippi and Virginia. And we're getting ready to elect LGBTQ leaders in states like Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, where LGBTQ rights are consistently on the line.

We can take back our state legislatures from the bigots, elect pro-equality majorities and ensure these horrific bills don't get a vote. And we can start now. Make a donation today to help Victory Fund hit our end of month goal and help take back our state legislatures!

Thanks for chipping in,
