Dear MoveOn member,
Today marks the official start of Pride Month!
That means it's time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and honor LGBTQ+ trailblazers—and to recommit ourselves to the fight against hate, homophobia, and transphobia.
Right now, all across the country, bigoted MAGA politicians are attacking the LGBTQ+ community—from threatening to repeal same-sex marriage and prohibiting gender-affirming care to banning books that are written by LGBTQ+ authors.1
We refuse to have our rights, freedom, and dignity stripped away from us. We are going to VOTE and help ensure our family and friends vote too.
That's why MoveOn created this new, limited-edition "Vote with Pride" T-shirt, sticker, and enamel pin.
Click here to get yours while supplies last. But act quickly, because we expect to sell out!
Andra, beginning with the Stonewall Uprising, 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 "Vote with Pride" T-shirt, sticker, and enamel pin.
Remember, unlike if you buy Pride merchandise at big-box stores, your contribution to MoveOn directly powers the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and a more just world.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back, including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA politicians who support them, we need your help.
