Equality Vote Watch: Trailblazing Candidates Making History
Pro-Equality Voters are showing up at the polls! Our empowering movement has rallied intersectional communities to ensure every voice is heard and every vote is counted. This creates a brighter future and opportunity for all and drives the fight for equality and justice in our elections.
This work is a testament to the months of tireless work by the LGBTQ+ community and our allies, uniting to advocate for a world where everyone can live authentically and love freely, without fear of discrimination or violence. We celebrate the leaders who champion our rights and push back against hate and misinformation while supporting trailblazing candidates poised to redefine leadership in public service. Join us in our ongoing fight for equality, ensuring that every voice is heard and every vote is counted, today and every day!
Congratulations to these Pro-Equality Trailblazers on their Victories!
Congratulations to these Champions for Equality Headed to Congress!
