Happy Pride Month! Every year, the month of June marks an opportunity for us to honor the beauty, vibrancy, and resilience of LGBTQ+ Americans while celebrating the tremendous progress we've made in the fight for universal equality. And there has been plenty of progress to celebrate under the Biden-Harris administration, from the appointment of our nation's first openly-gay Cabinet Secretary in Pete Buttigieg, to the passage of the landmark Respect for Marriage Act that codified federal recognition of marriage equality.
However, there is still so much work to be done. Unfortunately, this year's Pride Month also comes at a time when LGBTQ+ Americans are facing unprecedented attacks. In fact, the Republican Party's assault on LGBTQ+ rights has become so extreme that the Human Rights Campaign has declared a national state of emergency for all LGBTQ+ people living in the United States.
Simply put, this election is a consequential moment for the safety and wellbeing of our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and neighbors. Make no mistake: if Republicans win back Congress and the White House this fall, they will implement their extremist anti-LGBTQ+ policies nationwide. We cannot let that happen, and we know direct voter contact is the best tool we have to stop them. Can we count on you to chip in to support our organizing efforts?
