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.
100% of your donation will go 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:
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
Thank you for taking action today,
Team AOC
