Announcement for a planned action by LGBTQ+ people AND our ALLIES on TRANS RIGHTS:
LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back - December 3 Action. Message to Democrats: Trans rights are not negotiable.
We need to show Democrats that they can’t afford to disenfranchise LGBTQ+ folks and our allies. We are a major Democratic voting block, and they need to listen to us.

TODAY: Read and share Julia's post far and wide.
