The national and community-based organizations banded together in what they call The Equality Alliance to send an open letter to the President requesting the prioritization of the bill. “The Equality Law will strengthen families and place children in situations of love and safety, no matter their SOGIE. The law will acknowledge and boost the economic contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals,” the advocates said in their letter, which was read aloud in a press briefing on Friday, June 14.
