We are saying no-knock warrants, that there should be no ability to have no-knock warrants for drug cases. Breonna Taylor would be alive today if there had been a ban on no-knock warrants in drug cases.

The Equality Act will absolutely, if enacted, lead to greater financial security for LGBT people in general, and LGBT elder adults more specifically.
