Resources: Human Rights Campaign's travel guide

[sathari]

For those in the LGBTQ+ community in the United States, the Human Rights Campaign is providing state-by-state information about laws affecting different LGBTQ+ populations in all 50 states. If you're traveling, you can text "MYSTATE" to 472472 to get localized information about the laws in your state and a link to a more comprehensive guidebook. More information from them, including the fact that they've declared a national emergency for LGBTQ+ USAmericans, can be found here and here.

Action: Electrion Frontiers Foundation's list of "bad bills"

[sathari]

The EFF has a list of bills involving restrictions to or curtailment of various aspects of privacy on the internet. This page is a "one-stop shop" to find out more about all of the bills and to email your senators and congresscritters about them; the links will take you to an editable-email page, so you can get as "in the weeds" about the specifics of each of the bills as you like.

More on Ohio (plus bonus other states)

[sathari]

This is mostly an FYI, but per this article on Wonkette, Progress Action Fund has an ad out ETA: in Ohio about, essentially, not voting for Republicans, and especially about voting down Issue 1 (that I've posted about here before). (Bonus: Beau of the Fifth Column has a video out on what he thinks McConnell's plans for the Senate races in 2024 are, namely that McConnell's focusing on Ohio as well as Pennsylvania, Montana, and West Virginia rather than trying for a sweep of all the available pickups.) (We don't have state tags for WV and MT at the moment, and if Beau's right, we may need them in the next year!) (I am not the world's biggest fan of audio-visual as opposed to text-based media, so the fact that I make an exception for Beau says a lot about how much I appreciate his work.)
