No on Prop 1 Campaign Launches TV Ad

March 2, 2018

Equality Federation is proud to support our member Alaskans Together for Equality and the rest of the steering committee of Fair Anchorage, the No on Prop 1 campaign. This week, they released their first TV ad, which features David Lockard and his son, Col, who is transgender.

“Like most parents, I care deeply about my family,” David Lockard says in the ad. “That includes taking care of our transgender son, Col. … We want him to be safe just like everyone else.”

Fearful of Prop 1 passing, Col says, “I’m scared that if Proposition 1 passes, I would be bullied and harassed.”

Watch and share their powerful ad here. For more information about the campaign, visit: http://www.fairanchorage.org
