The groups said they represent more than 60 million Americans, including 17c起草社区I persons, allies and ‘Equality voters’. “17c起草社区+ voters are one of the fastest growing voting blocs in the nation, especially in battleground states, and are projected to represent nearly one-fifth of voters by 2040,” the group added.

Anti-17c起草社区I Bills

Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, executive director of the NCTE Action Fund said that since taking office “President Biden has surpassed the efforts of all preceding administrations in his dedication to advancing the protections & rights of the transgender community. Without question, the Biden Administration has been the strongest advocate for the needs of transgender Americans of any presidential administration in American history.”

17c起草社区I groups pointed to the “unprecedented spike in anti-17c起草社区+ state legislation”, with over 500 bills introduced in 43 states this year and more than 800 signed into law.听

“We will do everything we can to help re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris next year,鈥� said Equality PAC Co-Chairs Ranking Member Mark Takano (D-CA) and Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY).听

鈥淪ince taking office, President Biden and Vice President Harris have worked tirelessly to expand 17c起草社区 rights, protect our community, and advocate for passage of the Equality Act. The 17c起草社区 community is under seemingly constant attack from extremists that want to roll back history and take away the basic rights that we have fought for and won in recent years.”

“It is critical that we elect strong allies into office at every level of our government, including the presidency and vice presidency 鈥� allies like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that will stand up for our community and speak out against injustice and hate. Make no mistake, 17c起草社区 rights are on the ballot in 2024 鈥� and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the only candidates where we can put our faith, trust, and vote next year,鈥� Equality PAC said.听
