RT @AFTunion: The #LGBTQ plan from @BetoORourke includes reinstating Dept of Ed guidance and enforcements to protect LGBTQ+ students. As educators and school staff, we support our LGBTQ students and want this guidance back in place. #AFTVotes https://t.co/R3YQ3sEabP

No matter where you live, every woman should have access to health care including abortion. At a time of unprecedented attacks on women across the country, we must protect Roe v. Wade and defend a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her body. https://t.co/eDadkXSyh1

Really loved having Amy on the road with us over the weekend as we met with communities across Iowa. Can't wait to have her join again soon. https://t.co/VyI7Hm1PDJ

We cannot allow religious freedom to be used as a guise for discrimination. We must stand against this in Puerto Rico and we must reverse the Trump administration’s continued efforts to exacerbate LGBTQ discrimination everywhere. Here's our plan: https://t.co/kkDy9rLPUU https://t.co/CC29H5p4QG

You don't get kids in cages and "human dog pounds" at the border until you have described asylum-seekers as animals or an infestation, dehumanizing them in the eyes of their fellow human beings. https://t.co/TyPvgNM0CS

When the President of the United States openly welcomes foreign help to win an election, he threatens the very core of our democracy. If we are to secure justice and ensure this never happens again, we must impeach him.

“O’Rourke commemorated Pride Month by putting out a comprehensive LGBTQ rights plan. His proposal offers one of the most detailed looks so far at how a Democratic president could act in this area. O’Rourke goes further than typical Democratic proposals” https://t.co/P0vaBp1ddJ

RT @tperry518: VIDEO: @BetoORourke tells me he spoke to Jeynce Poindexter of @Equality_MI in drafting his LGBTQ Plan. Also says the murders of 2 trans women of color in his home state of TX (Chynal Lindsey & Muhlaysia Booker) are "provoking a courageous response" which is reflected in this plan https://t.co/3qGPRGbkLW
