Two months until Election Day! 😧

John: Time really does fly – we’re less than two months away from Election Day 2019! Who wins in November 2019 will have a huge impact on the political landscape for years to come, including the 2020 Presidential race. We can lay the groundwork for 2020 and elect a new Rainbow Wave in 2019. …

a “legislative graveyard”

John: the U.S. Senate is about to return from their summer break - but Mitch McConnell seems to think he's on a permanent vacation. He's blocked over 100 bills from seeing a vote on the Senate floor, including the Equality Act! The first openly LGBTQ Senator in U.S. history, Tammy Baldwin, h…

4 debates. 0 questions. It's time.

John: the Democratic Party has hosted four primetime debates - and one openly LGBTQ candidate is standing on the debate stage. But despite the history being made - and the fact that LGBTQ voters are a core pillar of the Democratic party's base - there have been zero questions about LGBTQ iss…

ADD YOUR NAME: STAND WITH LGBTQ LEGISLATORS

Rolling back marriage equality. More bigoted "religious freedom laws." More petty restrictions on reproductive freedom. More attacks against the right to privacy. More regulations decimating healthcare. More partisan gerrymandering, ensuring another cycle of destructive legislation in the st…

Keep the conversation going.

John, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mayor Pete when we were both openly LGBTQ mayors and now as our team at Victory Fund supports his incredible presidential run.  What always impresses me about Mayor Pete is the passion and intelligence he brings to issues affecting our communities. May…

LATEST: Danica Roem vs. anti-LGBTQ opponent

John, we wanted to make sure you saw the latest update on Spotlight candidate Danica Roem's race. She sat down with The Daily Beast for an update on her reelection campaign: We're so proud of Danica - she's standing strong against anti-LGBTQ and anti-ERA advocate Kelly McGinn. We've long kn…

The best way to carry your stuff - and defy gender norms!

John, In case you missed it: a study released last week showed a surprising number of straight cisgender men believe carrying a tote bag makes you look gay. We're hoping you'll join with us and embrace that look - grab your "Yes I Canvass for LGBTQ Candidates" canvas tote bag while supplies …

(CONTENT WARNING): Not the Tennessee I know

John: I'm a Tennessee native, and I lived in Memphis for six years. It's a vibrant community, filled with character - and some of the world's best BBQ. And while we're known for our world-class music, thriving food scene and Southern hospitality, there's one thing I wish Tennessee could leav…

Pete & Dan & Ritchie & Danica

John: we have four chances to defeat known bigots and elect LGBTQ candidates. And with your help, we can send these anti-LGBTQ candidates packing.  Despite vowing to be a "real friend" to LGBTQ Americans, Trump's Administration has rolled back decades of progress. Under Pence's careful eye,…

3 more chances to make 🌈LGBTQ history🌈!

In 2018, we elected a record number of LGBTQ candidates around the country - including four new LGBTQ Congresspeople in New Hampshire, Kansas, Minnesota and California. And in 2020, we can add three more amazing candidates to the list. Are you ready to make LGBTQ history everywhere and elec…

That is totes gay??

John, Apparently, it IS gay to go green. A new research report shows a surprising number of straight cisgender men believe carrying a tote bag makes you look gay. Lean in, we say. Baffle bystanders while protecting Mother Earth with Victory Fund's limited edition "Yes I Canvass for LGBTQ Can…

VIDEO: This was my favorite Mayor Pete debate moment

Hey John - The columnists, pundits and Twittersphere have spoken: Mayor Pete broke through a crowded 10-person debate stage and was a standout last night. My favorite moment from the debate was his remarks on structural democratic reforms to improve our democracy. You can WATCH those powerfu…

These numbers don't look good...

Hey John - I've been busy pouring over our LGBTQ candidates' second quarter fundraising reports, and I've got some bad news: many of our candidates facing anti-LGBTQ opponents were outraised. Can you chip in $15 right now to keep these LGBTQ candidates competitive? Here's what's at stake: D…

"The most important election of 2020"

Hey there John, Did you see Vox's article about the state legislatures? It's a chilling report: if we don't win down-ballot races across the country, anti-LGBTQ state legislators will lead redistricting and send more anti-LGBTQ activists to Congress. But with your help, we can reelect histor…
