As the day comes to a close, the Green Party of the United States joins in honoring and recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). Since 2009, TDOV has served to celebrate living members of the transgender community and organize for their rights.
| Just three months into the year, more than 800 anti-trans bills have been introduced in 49 states, with 42 having already passed and more than 700 still active |
| Elected officials in the two corporate parties have allowed and even encouraged this blatant betrayal of fundamental human rights. |
Unlike the parties of War and Wall Street, the Green Party of the United States has always taken the position that we cannot compromise on issues of life or death for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and other gender and romantic minority communities.
The National Lavender Green Caucus represents the LGBTQIA+ members of our party. If you're eligible, please consider joining the NLGC and help the party grow! 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈
We believe that addressing the deep issues facing LGBTQIA+ communities today require deep solutions. We stand for continuing the struggle for true equality in every way including:
- A comprehensive National Health Plan including full access to behavioral, dental, hearing, and vision care.
- A healthcare system that will not discriminate coverage based upon sexuality, gender, ethnicity, nationality, or income.
- Increasing funding for HIV/AIDS research towards a cure.
- A guaranteed living wage and an end to homelessness which disproportionately affects LGBTQIA+ youth.
- Support for LGBTQIA+ friendly K-12 educational materials and free education at all levels through college.
- Ending senseless mass incarceration and the War on Drugs, which also disproportionately targets queer youth, particularly LGBTQIA+ youth of color.
No other national political party matches the Green Party's commitment to the liberation of all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex. 🌈
Your continued support of the Green Party helps give our candidates and organizers the training and support needed to win that fight! Please consider supporting that effort today.
In Solidarity,
Daniel Bumbarger & Margaret Elisabeth,
Co-Chairs of the National Lavender Green Caucus
