NEVER FORGET!
Thinking of Matthew Shepard and his family today. It’s been 23 years since he was cruelly beaten, tied to a fence and left to die, just because he was gay. He died 6 days later. His murder ignited a global fight against homophobia, one we’re sadly still fighting #RememberHim

The Biden-Harris #American Families Plan will help create a more equitable economy for #LGBTQ+ families. Our families are more likely to live in poverty and to access benefits, particularly #LGBTQ+ families of color.
President Biden’s new #AmericanFamiliesPlan – together with the American Jobs Plan – is a ground-breaking agenda that will create a more equitable economy & address problems that have plagued our nation for decades. #EquitableRecovery
