Our Story
Fight for Our Rights is expanding electoral power for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community by winning elections and defeating bigoted elected officials.
Stop The Attacks
Hate-filled rhetoric and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community have grown bolder and louder in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Across the country, anti-LGBTQ+ bullies seek to restrict our rights and send us back into the closet.
These attacks deepen concerns that the Dobbs decision overturning the legal right to abortion could undermine other cases built on the same constitutional foundation — the right to privacy provided in the Fourteenth Amendment — including marriage, civil and worker protections, protection against hate crimes, and so much more.
Right now, anti-LGBTQ+ bullies are winning the political narrative on issues related to our lives. They are spreading dangerous, bigoted tropes like “groomer” to push repressive legislation and attack our community. We know the best way to stop a bully – fight back.
Build Electoral Power
Standing together to “Fight For Our Rights,’’ we are working to maintain and advance protections for the LGBTQ+ community by expanding electoral power and defeating anti-LGBTQ+ elected officials. Together we will:
- Hold accountable those in power actively working to dismantle our rights and attack our community.
- Expand protections by electing allies.
- Combat disinformation and threats to individual and civil rights.
- Build a political strategy that makes it impossible to win office on the backs of our community.
We are called to do all we can to protect the lives and freedoms of LGBTQ+ Americans against elected officials’ extremist threats. There are many paths to victory. We will fight for progress at all levels.
Laser-Focused to Win
Fight For Our Rights is an experienced team of nimble and creative political strategists dedicated to defeating anti- LGBTQ+ bullies and blunting the dangerous narratives pushed by rightwing extremists. We won in Iowa in 2022. 2024 is our chance to expand across the country and deliver a public message: the attacks against the LGBTQ+ community must stop.
To Fight For Our Rights and shift the power, our work ahead is clear:
- Continue our track record of identifying electoral races we can win by going on the offensive through every campaign tactic available. These include a targeted set of state, county, or local races where our engagement is pivotal to defeating an anti-LGBTQ+ bully.
- Develop materials and messaging that blunt the attack language and bring the truth of who we are into the conversation. Fight For Our Rights will build upon existing work to find the most effective messages in this political environment.
- Partner with Pro-LGBTQ+ National and State Coalitions to be a critical strategic partner – expanding the recognition of our rights by ousting the most villainous bullies.
