In the U.S. & around the world, LGBTQI+ people still face discrimination, violence, & persecution for daring to exist openly. We all have a part to play in ending hate & discrimination. Today, on #IDAHOBIT, we reaffirm our commitment to fighting towards that end.

Anti-equality extremists in the White House & Congress are actively interfering with Americans who are just trying to do their jobs. Stop the censorship. End the attacks. Resume funding. Let Americans do their jobs—without government interference.

Trump's economic policies are wreaking havoc on American families. He wants to blame "wokeness" and "DEI," but the truth is simple: . Queer people aren't why you can't afford groceries, . Trump is.

These headlines, from just the last 30 hours, are just the latest examples of the devastating impact President Trump's cuts to HIV funding & research have had both in the US and abroad. The Administration must stop undermining US leadership in addressing the HIV epidemic.

Right now, people in the United States are struggling to get the care they need. Congress should be working to solve that crisis and expand access to health insurance, not messing with Medicaid & restricting Americans' right to make their own healthcare choices. (6/7).

Congress should be working to protect EVERY person's freedom to make their own choices about their own life, not pulling the rug out from under the millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid. We urge the Committee to stand up for freedom and reject this bill. (7/7).
