Threat of government shutdown from House Republicans. These members spent the summer failing to pass a mandatory spending bill, instead focusing on untouchable demands such as book bans and attacks on gender-affirming care.

“A government shutdown is the height of irresponsibility, disrupting critical government services, harming working families, and endangering national security. This outcome was entirely avoidable; House Republicans instead hijacked the spending process and attacked the LGBTQ+ community rather than doing their job. It's past time for them to stop pushing extremist policies that are dangerous to us all.” Told. Kelly Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign
Legislative attacks from House Republicans include a number of anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in the spending bill, as well as standalone bills such as HR 734 (National Ban on Transgender Student Athletics) and larger legislation. There is. Packages like HR 5 included book bans and provisions stigmatizing transgender students. HRC's new ad airing nationally urges voters to reach out to their members, stand with the American people, reject the extremism of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, and take action to stop the shutdown. I am calling on you to do so.
