We sued to ensure Georgia counties could offer voting today and won. Republicans appealed all the way to the conservative GA Supreme Court. We won again and again.

At least 5 people were murdered in a mass shooting at a Colorado night club and 18 wounded on this National Day of Transgender Remembrance- after 37 Republicans failed to stop the Respect for Marriage Act. This is a hate crime. We will not stand for it.
