Across the country, we’re witnessing a surge of ugly, hateful attacks on LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people and trans children – part of the MAGA Republican agenda to codify discrimination and systematically roll back our right to control our own bodies, define our own identity and live with dignity and respect. But queer and trans legislators are resisting: Leaders like Zooey Zephyr in Montana, Megan Hunt in Nebraska, James Roesener in New Hampshire, Ian Mackey from Missouri, Danica Roem in Virginia, and many more are fearlessly fighting back for the rights of their community and for us all. This Pride, let’s make sure they know we see their courage, and we are committed to standing with them.

Look up your legislators here, or pick your own LGBTQ+ leader who inspires you – a journalist, activist, artist or someone else you want to uplift – and record a message thanking them for their courage, and sharing the ways they are emboldening you to show up and urgently speak out.
