2016 was a difficult year. While we built on the gains made in 2015, our community has had to hold ground against backlash in state legislatures across the country, including efforts to thwart nondiscrimination protections, broad religious exemption laws, and attacks on transgender people and their ability to participate fully in public life.

I know many of us are feeling anxious about what’s to come. We ask you to stand with us and make a $50, tax-deductible donation to MAP today as we gear up for the work ahead.
