We joined partners in Georgia for Pride to the Capitol to demand that trans people are treated equally under the law. States are the testing ground for cruel anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that makes its way to Washington. Help fight back in your community: hrc.im/inyourarea

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government. Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes. It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

When Trump talks about how he’s “ending DEI,” he really means he’s ending enforcement of your rights. That's why he ended a 60 y/o prohibition on discrimination in federal contracting based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
