Mary, This is personal to me — in the face of years of efforts to attack my existence and my rights, I will stand in my truth and I won't let anyone steal my identity or my joy. Because transgender people exist and we always will. That’s why I’ll be one of 60+ transgender leaders from across Florida uniting for an unprecedented, vital in-person summit on April 16th. This gathering is essential for forging connections and devising actionable strategies to enhance the lives of transgender individuals throughout Florida. Our goal is to raise $30,000 in the next 30 hours to bring this pivotal summit to life. Because what happens over the course of this convening will reverberate across our state for years to come: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://act.eqfl.org/a/2024-voices-for-change-c3?ms=email1240327D__;!!KOmxaIYkRmNA0A!QwwTzHV6sEnr6JSWDzHDtWeWMWKd9sTtw7RWw4io9y-QX0x07F8Azz5Pqq0vS_H66WbZOldeOocHi8LgX249DZ0m$ If you give right now, your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar — up to $5,000 — thanks to a generous donor: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://act.eqfl.org/a/2024-voices-for-change-c3?ms=email1240327D__;!!KOmxaIYkRmNA0A!QwwTzHV6sEnr6JSWDzHDtWeWMWKd9sTtw7RWw4io9y-QX0x07F8Azz5Pqq0vS_H66WbZOldeOocHi8LgX249DZ0m$ The attacks we’ve experienced on our rights over the last few years have been part of a concerted strategy by right-wing forces, and Florida has been the proving ground to roll back our rights across several states — and their goal is clearly to strip our rights and freedoms nationwide. That’s why it’s so crucial that we invest in our own strategy, and our own leaders, because change is coming, and its face knows no gender . I hope you’ll help us bring that change to Florida and fuel our collaborative efforts to stand strong against discrimination and advocate for a brighter, more inclusive future. Can we count on your support at this critical moment? https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://act.eqfl.org/a/2024-voices-for-change-c3?ms=email1240327D__;!!KOmxaIYkRmNA0A!QwwTzHV6sEnr6JSWDzHDtWeWMWKd9sTtw7RWw4io9y-QX0x07F8Azz5Pqq0vS_H66WbZOldeOocHi8LgX249DZ0m$ Your generosity not only represents a beacon of hope but is also a direct investment in the resilience and empowerment of the transgender community. Ron Desantis wants us to live in the shadows, but our shine can’t be contained. Let’s change the face of Florida — and the nation — forever. Together, we can make a difference, Mary!
