This past Sunday, we marched in Sunnyside’s St. Pat’s for All Parade —
which began in response to the exclusion of Irish LGBTQ+ communities from
the 5th Avenue parade.

Across the nation, we’ve seen an alarming spike in anti-LGBTQ+ —
specifically anti-trans — bills being introduced in state legislatures.
And just last weekend, at the Conservative Political Action Conference
(CPAC), Speaker Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire called for the
“eradication” of “transgenderism”.

Team AOC is working to support organizations and efforts to inform and
fight back against the disinformation being spread by anti-LGBTQ+
politicians and media.

[ [link removed] ]That’s why we’re reaching out to you
today. Will you please join us in defending our
LGBTQ+ siblings by making an urgent $3 contribution today
to Equality Federation?

Equality Federation is an advocacy accelerator rooted in social justice
and focused on building power for state-based lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) advocacy organizations.

Just last week, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed two anti-LGBTQ+ bills
into law:

* The first bans drag performances on public property in the state, as
well as at any location where people under 18 could be present.
* The second bans age-appropriate, medically necessary health care for
transgender youth.

These bans are not about “child safety” — they are an attempt to label our
queer and trans siblings as dangerous, and force the LGBTQ+ community back
into the closet.

Anti-drag bills have also been introduced in twelve other states. In fact,
there are more than 375 bills targeting LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S. So, it’s
no surprise that nearly 1 in 5 of any type of hate crime is now motivated
by anti-LGBTQ+ bias. In fact, the last two years have been the deadliest
on record for trans people — especially Black trans women.^1

trans and queer community is under attack. We cannot stand aside — help us
fight back by making a donation today to Equality Federation.

Thank you for taking action today,

Team AOC
