This hit for me today.

I'm very fortunate to live in a state that voted to affirm trans rights by a 2-1 margin, but other states are effectively making it illegal to be trans, with severe penalties in some cases. Allies nationwide really need to help do their part. Now.

I will spend every one of the next 100 days working my ass off to find a Democrat to run against every legislator who voted for the LEARNS scam. If you can join the work, if you are ready to run, if you know someone in a rural district that deserves better, let’s join forces.
