Pride, Solidarity, and the Power de Nuestro Voto
Querida familia LCLAA,
In June, we recognize the fight for equality, dignity, and human rights, led by the LGBTQ+ community and allies, union siblings, and working people who stood together during the historic protest and marches of 1969 against violence, discrimination, and injustice.
Their struggle became a movement for all workers - in our communities, workplaces, and throughout the Labor Movement - and helped shape what we now celebrate as Pride Month. Yet many of those hard-earned victories are being threatened today by policies that seek to divide communities and erase the voices and contributions of working people.
As election processes begin in many cities and across the country, we must remember that the ballot box is another place where we defend justice, dignity, and democracy. Voting is how we demand respect for our Constitution, due process, the rule of law, and the rights of our communities.
We encourage a toda la comunidad LGBTQ+ to be informed and prepared. Learn what identification or documents you may need to vote and understand your rights before election day.
For trans and nonbinary members of our community, knowing voting ID requirements in advance can help avoid challenges if identification documents do not match their current name, gender marker, or appearance.
Stay informed. Be prepared. Encourage others to vote. Share this information with friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors who may need it. Together, we can protect the progress generations have fought for and continue building a future rooted in equality, justice, and respect para todos.
In Solidarity,
Evelyn DeJesus,
LCLAA National President.
