February 5

I am writing to you today with a deep sense of urgency and concern for the direction our country seems to be heading. The United States, as a beacon of freedom and equality, has long stood for the values of justice, liberty, and the protection of rights for all its citizens. However, we are now witnessing the erosion of these fundamental rights, and I implore you to take action and step up to safeguard the ideals upon which this nation was built. First and foremost, I ask that you work to protect and uplift the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community. We cannot allow the progress we have made to be undone, nor can we stand idly by while individuals are marginalized, discriminated against, or subjected to violence simply for being who they are. This is a fight for humanity and dignity, and it is one we must win together. Additionally, we must stand firm in our commitment to protecting women’s rights, including their autonomy over their bodies. The right to make decisions about one’s own healthcare and future is not something to be taken away or diminished. We must ensure that every woman has the agency and opportunity to live her life free from fear, stigma, or repression. We also cannot ignore the needs of people of color, who continue to face systemic racism and inequality in all aspects of life. We need meaningful action that addresses these disparities—actions that lead to real change and create a more just and equitable society for And, above all, we must stand together to prevent the return of practices that violate human dignity, such as the establishment of camps that undermine the rights and safety of marginalized groups. We cannot, and must not, go backward. The history of this country has shown us what happens when rights are stripped away, and we must not repeat those mistakes. In these challenging times, it is your responsibility as elected leaders to uphold the rights of all citizens, to protect the most vulnerable among us, and to ensure that America remains a land of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Please step up. Stand for what is right. Stand for what is just. Protect us.
