Dear MoveOn member,
As we celebrate the start of Pride Month, Republican homophobic bigots are ramping up their hateful campaigns against the LGBTQ+ community.
Unfortunately, corporations are starting to surrender to the right wing. Just days ago, Target caved to anti-LGBTQ+ protests and pulled Pride merch from many of its stores.1
Andra, we know we can't trust big corporations—which are more concerned with profits than with progress—to fight for justice.
That's why MoveOn is launching our own 2023 Pride Collection!
All these items are union printed right here in the United States, and proceeds will go directly toward supporting the critical work MoveOn is doing to defeat anti-LGBTQ+ politicians, stop the wave of dangerous anti-queer and anti-trans legislation, and pass laws that solidify equal rights—unlike the big-box retailers who use Pride as an empty slogan to try to make a quick buck.
Beginning with the Stonewall Uprisings, when queer and trans people of color resisted police brutality, Pride has always been about protest.
And today, MoveOn members are resisting the cruel attacks on the LGBTQ+ community—from book bans that attempt to erase LGBTQ+ authors to hateful legislation that denies LGBTQ+ kids lifesaving health care.
But we must remember that Pride Month is about more than fighting back against Republican bigots.
It's also about celebrating the beauty, joy, strength, bravery, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.
Join the protest—and the celebration—by getting your very own "The GOP Can't Drag Us Down" T-shirt or your "Trans Joy is Magic" bucket hat today!
Remember, unlike buying Pride merchandise at big box stores, your contribution to MoveOn directly powers the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and a more just world.

Thanks for all you do.
