TAKE ACTION: Protect LGBTQ+ Americans

Pride Month commemorates the struggle for equality, and that struggle is far from over.

Jason,   As we near the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, let's reflect on what Pride Month means to queer Americans and the fight to protect and expand LGBTQ+ rights in the face of repression.   Policymakers in states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, Oklahoma, and Kansas have introduced over 500 bills in 2024 alone, preventing LGBTQ+ people, particularly transgender people, from living their fullest lives.  This includes banning gender-affirming care, outlawing drag shows, censoring school curricula (including banning books and preventing conversations on LGBTQ+ topics), and barring transgender individuals from public accommodations.  By fanning the flames of homophobia, transphobia, and hate-fed violence, these legislators are shaming queer Americans out of public life.   The rights of LGBTQ+ Americans cannot be left up to state legislatures. Sign if you agree: Congress must take action to protect the LGBTQ+ community. Sign the Petition As a member of both the Congressional Equality Caucus and the Transgender Equality Task Force, I work hard every day to end workplace discrimination, school bullying, healthcare disparities, and other barriers that stand in the way of the LGBTQ+ community's well-being.   LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Nobody should have to live in fear because of who they are and who they love. It's vital that we afford the LGBTQ+ community the same legal protections that the rest of us receive.    Pride Month commemorates the struggle for equality, and that struggle is far from over.   Tell Congress: Protect the LGBTQ+ community from discrimination.   Thank you for your activism and all that you do.   In solidarity, Ro Wait!
