Equality is worth fighting for — Biden-Harris 2024.

 Dear David,

For their steadfast, fearless and unyielding support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans, the Human Rights Campaign proudly endorses President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for re-election in 2024.

The Biden-Harris administration has been the most pro-equality administration in U.S. history — a beacon of leadership and strength amid a surge of anti-LGBTQ+ extremism and hate in states across the country. Help show the strength of our community today by making a donation to support the re-election of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Biden-Harris administration has secured a host of important victories for LGBTQ+ people: from signing the Respect for Marriage Act — landmark legislation that enshrined marriage equality into federal law — to initiating executive actions that provide federal employment protections for LGBTQ+ people, military service protections for transgender people, restored non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people in healthcare, expanded mental health resources for LGBTQ+ youth, enforcement of the rights of LGBTQ+ students under Title IX and the end to blanket discrimination against gay and bisexual blood donors. President Biden has also appointed more openly LGBTQ+ ambassadors, executive officials and judges than any previous president.

With LGBTQ+ Americans living in a state of emergency — experiencing unprecedented hostility and attacks from extremist politicians and their right-wing allies across the country who are working tirelessly to erase us — the stakes could not be clearer. The Biden-Harris administration’s leadership, strength and commitment to progress and equality are more crucial than ever.

For LGBTQ+ Americans, what’s at stake in the 2024 presidential election is our humanity, our right to exist and our ability to live and raise our families in environments free from fear and discrimination.

That’s why it’s so critical that we vote and take other actions to support President Biden, Vice President Harris, and other pro-equality, pro-choice, pro-democracy leaders up and down the ballot: volunteer for a campaign, register new voters, drive them to the polls and donate. Pledge to “Vote&” help elect pro-equality candidates in Massachusetts and nationwide.

HRC is also working to activate our more than 3 million members and supporters and to mobilize 62 million Equality Voters, for whom LGBTQ+ equality is a make-or-break issue, in support of the Biden-Harris re-election campaign. In addition, HRC will funnel significant and expanded investments into six battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — where HRC has already built up considerable infrastructure, including full-time staff and organizers who have remained on the ground since 2018 to help keep Equality Voters engaged.

We cannot afford to be complacent or to sit on the sidelines — we must stay unified and win in November to advance our movement for equality and liberation.

President Biden and Vice President Harris have shown time and again that all of us deserve to be treated equally and fairly. All of us deserve to be free. And all of us deserve to be treated with dignity and respect under the law.

Donate now to the Biden-Harris re-election campaign and join HRC in supporting the most pro-LGBTQ+ President and Vice President in history.

HRC is proud to endorse President Biden and Vice President Harris for re-election in 2024 and will fight hard for their victories and on-going support of our LGBTQ+ community.
