Decades of progress in protecting human rights are under a coordinated, systematic attack. Today the targets are gender, sexual orientation and race—but it won’t stop there. It’s happened before. It’s happening now. Our fundamental freedoms—and our very democracy—are at risk. And if we fail to recognize the urgency of this moment, we’ll only have ourselves to blame. Resist the marginalization and persecution of people just for being who they are.
