History made: Dr. Rachel Levine was just confirmed as the next Assistant Secretary for Health, becoming the first-ever openly transgender federal official confirmed by the Senate.

More than half of all states lack full protections for LGBTQ people. With the Equality Act, we can change that.

We have to make our voices heard ahead of the Senate hearing on the #EqualityAct. Join us in demanding equality. https://t.co/G2v9QU6Vmp

“This is the right thing to do, and it’s long overdue.”

@SenatorBaldwin is right — now is the time to finally pass the #EqualityAct and protect our rights. Text EQUALITY ACT to 472-472 to connect with your senators and demand equality. https://t.co/G2v9QU6Vmp
