                         Friday, June 28, 2024

  Mr. GOLDMAN of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate 
Pride month and honor an LGBQTIA+ community leader in New York's Tenth 
District, Sean Eldridge.
  Sean is the founder and President of Stand Up America, a progressive 
advocacy organization founded in response to Donald Trump's 
unprecedented assault on our democracy.
  Today, the group is over two million members strong and works to 
expand voting rights and build a more inclusive democracy that's 
responsive to the needs of the American people. Prior to founding Stand 
Up America, Sean was a leader in the fight to pass marriage equality 
nationwide, serving as the Political Director of the advocacy group 
Freedom to Marry. Sean has been on the forefront of progressive issues 
for over a decade, and is a true leader in the fight for equal rights 
for all. I'm honored to recognize his outstanding contribution to 
democracy.
