We are heartbroken by the senseless violence and lives lost on Saturday
night after a gunman opened fire with an AR-style rifle in an LGBTQ+
nightclub in Colorado Springs. Club Q, like so many queer spaces, was a
refuge for LGBTQ+ people to escape the hateful rhetoric, discrimination,
and violence often found outside its doors.

[ [link removed] ]While we continue the fight against bigotry and for gun safety, we're
asking you to show your support for the queer community today by splitting
a meaningful donation between two LGBTQ+ focused organizations — PFLAG
National and Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo.

100% of your donation will go directly to these organizations.

Here’s a bit more about them:

- PFLAG National is a community of more than 350,000 members and
supporters working to create a caring, just, and affirming world for
LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. With hundreds of chapters across
the country, PFLAG provides confidential peer support, education, and
advocacy to LGBTQ+ people, their parents and families, and allies.

- Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo, based in Queens, provides legal,
medical, and psychosocial assistance to trans and non-binary people
through the implementation of community and educational support programs.

This tragedy is only deepened as it came on the eve of Transgender Day of
Remembrance, which was created to commemorate the lives of those lost to
anti-transgender violence.^1 Alexandria and Team AOC stand in solidarity
with the transgender community and the entire LGBTQ+ community.

chip in if you’re able to, and together we will continue to support our
queer community today and always.

With resolve,

Team AOC

1 - Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by
transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of
Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998.

The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since
Rita Hester's death, and began an important tradition that has become the
annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.
