Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Police said most were shot, but one of those killed and two of the injured were hit by vehicles while trying to flee. They said there were multiple shooters.

Grieving does not end when the news cycle moves on. Today we remember the lives lost during the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016. Hate crimes are a real issue in this nation that we must address with principles of love and nonviolence.
On this day in 2016, America lost 49 people to hatred and homophobia in the Pulse Nightclub shooting. It is now 2022 and we are still fighting for gun reform that could prevent heinous acts like this.

Part of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy is working to eradicate economic inequality. His last speech was in support of striking sanitation workers. Let's never forget that on this journey of pursuing justice, that includes fair wages and benefits so all people can prosper.
Unions promote economic equality and build worker power, helping workers to win increases in pay, better benefits, and safer working conditions.
But that’s not all unions do. Unions also have powerful effects on workers’ lives outside of work.
