TAKE A STAND AGAINST HATE CRIMES
It's time we face the truth: Hate crimes happen. More often than we might think. In big cities and in small towns. To teenagers and to senior citizens.
None of us are immune; all of us are connected.
According to the FBI, each day 25 Americans fall victim to a hate crime. One in six hate crimes involves the sexual orientation of the victim. But current federal law rarely covers these attacks, and they often go unsolved.
Take two minutes to tell your representative to bring hate criminals to justice.

With a fair-minded majority in Congress, we have the best chance to pass a federal hate crimes law that would cover crimes based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Landmark legislation could come to a vote soon in the House, and tomorrow we are holding a press conference as it hits the Senate. Help us be heard, loud and clear.
Click here TODAY to make sure your representative supports this Act.
Unfortunately, several powerful right wing groups – like the Family Research Council – are trying to stop this legislation in its tracks by resorting to outrageous lies. Will your representative's vote be swayed?
Your voice – and tens of thousands of others – will give us the strength we need tomorrow as we make the American public aware of the need for this long-overdue legislation. Thank you for joining us.
Warmly,
Joe Solmonese
President
