On the 56th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, as the Trump administration and the right aggressively strip rights from the LGBTQ+ community, we feel called to emphasize our commitment to the Q***r community and to loudly stand with trans people who are being targeted in a way that can only be described as violent and un-American.
As a firm, we are dedicated to helping candidates that will continuously advance LGBTQ+ rights and do so with a team that is 2/3 LGBTQ+. This week marked the 10-year anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, and for us q***r, Gen Z team members, this ruling, and all of the work that came before it, enabled us to come out in an environment where we felt embraced and celebrated. For us, Pride has often felt like a party. However, as trans people bear attacks from the very representatives who swore to serve them and a returned fear of retribution underscores the hollowness of corporate, this year feels different.
We are reminded that Pride started as resistance, as a form of radical protest. Now, more than ever, we need to protect the rights that generations before us risked their lives for and to stand against a government that abandons its core tenets: freedom for all and the pursuit of happiness.
One of the first projects we worked on was overturning Prop 8, California’s discriminatory same-sex marriage ban. The fight for q***r rights has evolved, but our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community remains. We wish everyone a Happy Pride and offer a reminder that all our progress has been made by standing together.
