Happy Pride Month, John!
In June, we honor our rich and vibrant LGBTQI+ community, reflect on our past, and recommit ourselves to the work still ahead of us. This week, I was humbled to attend a pride event at the White House where President Biden announced a Historic Executive Order Advancing Equality for LGBTQI+ Individuals.

No one should face discrimination because of who they are or whom they love, and I’m grateful President Biden has the LGBTQI+ community’s back. In recent months, we’ve seen a rise in hateful, transphobic, and homophobic legislation by Republicans. Clearly, our work is far from over. The importance of electing Democrats to defend LGBTQI+ Americans can not be understated.
Pride month is a celebration but also serves as a call to action, and I hope you’ll join me in making a contribution to elect Democrats who will continue to take bold action in the fight for full equality for LGBTQI+ Americans. [[link removed]]
