Dear MoveOn member,
Pride has always been a protest. A time for the LGBTQ+ community and our allies to come together to fight for our rights, push for equality, and demand a brighter, more just future for all.
But it is also a celebration. A time for us to come together to support each other and share in our collective joy.
Now more than ever, both the protest and celebration could not be more important.
To honor this year’s Pride Month, we want to give you a way to wear your values while also spreading just a little extra happiness throughout your community. That’s why MoveOn is proud to announce the launch of our brand-new Pride merch collection for 2025!
This year, we’re offering limited-edition “Gay Agenda” canvas tote bags, “Read Queer Stories” enamel pins, and temporary tattoo sheets you can take to all of your Pride festivities.
The Trump administration is waging a war to erase LGBTQ+ people from public life, starting with Trump’s first hours back in office, when he ended federal recognition of transgender and nonbinary identities.1
When it comes to Pride Month, the White House has already announced it will not issue a Pride Month proclamation or host any events.2
It’s not just Trump. In Congress, lawmakers are weaponizing their own bathrooms and openly misgendering colleagues. The Supreme Court recently allowed Trump’s Pentagon to ban service members based on their gender identities. And across the country, MAGA politicians are rolling back LGBTQ+ protections at alarming speed.
Pride has always been about resistance—from the Stonewall Uprising to today’s fight to stop the rollbacks from Trump, Congress, the Supreme Court, and MAGA bigots at all levels of government.
We will never give up fighting for the dignity of LGBTQ+ people and for our rights, freedom, and equality.
When you wear MoveOn Pride gear, you’re not just resisting and celebrating—you’re joining a movement that refuses to be silenced or erased.
Wear your Pride this June! Get your MoveOn Pride merchandise now.
Remember, unlike buying Pride merchandise from corporations that abandon the community when it becomes politically convenient, your contribution to MoveOn directly powers our fight for LGBTQ+ equality and a more just world.
Thanks for all you do.
–Kelly, Elizabeth, Emily, Oscar, and the rest of the team
