Today, the Supreme Court did the right thing by denying review of a petition that sought to challenge the freedom to marry for same-sex couples.
That’s because marriage equality has helped millions of Americans take care of each other, build stability, + plan for the future.

To our LGBTQ+ servicemembers and veterans everywhere: Thank you for your service.
You fought bravely and selflessly for our country and its freedom — even when you had to serve in the shadows.

We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black trans elder who fought for liberation, dignity, and justice. From Stonewall to decades of advocacy, she taught us to resist, to love fiercely, and to care radically. Her spirit lives on in every fight for collective freedom.
![We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black transgender elder whose life embodied the struggle for liberation, dignity, and justice. From the Stonewall uprising to her decades of advocacy for incarcerated trans women and communities of color, Miss Major taught generations to resist oppression and love each other fiercely in the face of state violence. Her legacy is one of radical care and defiant joy, a reminder that true freedom means leaving no one behind. May her spirit continue to guide us as we fight for the world she envisioned.
Rest in power, Miss Major. Your legacy and work will live on.

I want you to train & teach & love on & create families within my community & gender non-conforming people so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved & seek happiness, & share that with people that we care about.” —Miss Major Griffin-Gracy“]

The American Dream is showing up in full force. This tour is about hearing from the people, lifting voices that are often pushed to the margins, and sharing our stories to move hearts and change minds.
This summer, we’re taking it on the road—from Atlanta to Las Vegas and everywhere in between.
