We made a promise 5 years ago — to the victims, survivors and families of Pulse — that we would always #HonorThemWithAction.

It’s not a quiet promise: It’s a rallying call. Because in order to honor the 49 victims taken that day, we demand action. We demand accountability from elected officials who are spewing the same type of anti-LGBTQ hatred and bigotry that leads to violence against our community.
