Saurabh's fundraiser for FFAA!

Hi friends, it feels hard to fundraise at this moment in time. We're still reeling from the murder of George Floyd and the slow reckoning that the US is coming to in dealing with anti-black racism, as well as the huge impact that the pandemic has had on the livelihoods of so many folks. I'm glad if you choose to give to organizations working on Black Lives Matter or COVID response- I can even give you suggestions if you need them!

This has been a big month for LGBTQ equality. We're all thrilled by the SCOTUS decision that protects queer and trans people in the workplace. And I'm  asking you today to donate to Freedom For All Americans Education Fund (FFAAEF) so we can get all the legal protections LGBTQ Americans deserve. 

While LGBTQ people now have legal protection from discrimination at work, we still have a long way to go. For example, even after the SCOTUS decision, it will still be legal under federal law for stores, restaurants and hotels to discriminate against LGBTQ people. Jason and I could walk into a store in some states and be asked to leave just because we were holding hands, and we'd have no recourse.

We are more than past time to get nondiscrimination laws passed nationwide, including the Equality Act. I joined FFAAEF because I believe we can win this in the coming years- but we can't do it without your support. Any donation will mean something. And if you're a new donor or increase your past gift to FFAAEF, it will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Gill Foundation!
