Louisiana defeated the trans healthcare ban by a SINGLE VOTE. So, in addition to donating some cash or time to groups like Louisiana Trans Advocates, I need you, if you have progressive values, the physical, emotional, and mental reserves to spare, and a support network to help you through what's to come, to please consider running for state and local office.

@Wolven most people can't afford that tho - espechally in the USA where political participation is essentially paywalled like nowhere else...
@kkarhan file that under "reserves to spare" and "suppprt network." The unpleasant fact of the matter is, running once gets you more knowledgeable about the networks where the money moves, making it easier to run AGAIN
