I was a big sister before I was anything. I couldn’t be more proud of @MayaRupert https://t.co/nCDuNSlbNB

Thank you President Biden and your administration for your consistent support of LGBTQ people and families, your commitment to equality, and your willingness to put the needs of our communities first. Today’s announcement cements a legacy that we are profoundly grateful for.

Meet Lauren Underwood (@RepUnderwood). She is the U.S. representative from Illinois's 14th congressional district.

Lauren Underwood ran for office in 2018 after her healthcare was threatened to be taken away from her. With no prior political fundraising experience, she learned pretty quickly how difficult it's to run for office-especially as a woman of color.

Congresswomen Underwood joins host Maya Rupert (@MayaRupert) to discuss the price to run for office and how we can transform the process. 

Presented by the Ms. Foundation For Women (@msfoundation) and Marguerite Casey Foundation (@Caseygrants), you can listen to When We Win here: https://t.co/Hpslukojd9 🎧

“We are deeply disappointed that #SCOTUS has once again upended decades of precedent in a decision that will deepen racial inequality in education and cause lasting harm not only to many students of color but to everyone in this country." - @ImaniRG

This is excellent news!

Some good news: A U.S. District Court Judge ruled in favor of Arkansan #trans kids & their healthcare!

"The @ACLU did a superb job in this case, which has now set a precedent that other courts are likely to follow." - @shannonminter5, NCLR Legal Director https://t.co/IyQeTEwheu

Today was a beautiful, and historic day.

[Shannon Minter @shannonminter5]

So happy to be with my boss ⁦@ImaniRG⁩ at the White House on this historic day. For the first time in our country’s history, a federal law recognizes & protects the freedom to marry for all. #RespectForMarriage #RMA

@kayakendall @shannonminter5 Working with Shannon is one of the things I'm most grateful for in this world 😊

On Transgender Day of remembrance, we honor trans folks we have lost to violence and rededicate ourselves to ending this violence. To do this, we need real gun reform. And we need to dismantle the culture that allows hateful rhetoric to give rise to tragedies like this one.

[Imani Rupert-Gordon @ImaniRG]

Our hearts ache for the victims of the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs. 5 lives were stolen, at least 18 more injured, and countless lives will be forever changed.
It is particularly devastating that they were targeted in a space where we look for community.

[Imani Rupert-Gordon @ImaniRG]

We have seen an unmistakable rise in hateful rhetoric directed at our community. This rhetoric cannot be separated from the tragedy we grieve today. Anti-LGBT messages contribute to a culture that fans the flames of violence toward us.
