MAGA Republicans are so scared of losing power they tried to silence the will of voters across the country. This is not red vs blue. This is people vs manipulation.

Virginians are ready to step up and say: Not on our watch.

If you’re in Virginia, vote YES by April 21!

ACT NOW BY APRIL 6: Tell Gov. that every Virginian deserves equal protection under the law.

In Virginia, if a private employer discriminates against you based on your gender identity or sexual orientation, they can be sued.

But if the government does it, a legal loophole called sovereign immunity lets them off the hook. That is NOT equal protection. It’s a double standard.

Sign the petition by Monday, April 6 at bit.ly/NoDoubleStandard

The Arlington Transgender Youth Quilt project gives non-binary and trans youth a safe and joyful way of being seen and builds community and awareness in the broader community through a collaborative creation process. On March 7th, community members and allies are invited to help stitch together quilt squares made by local trans youth expressing their “freedom to be” while listening to the experiences of trans community members and allies. Light refreshments (and quilting materials) will be provided.
