The DNC&rsquo;s LGBTQ Voting Rights Toolkit will not only help address these concerns, but point LGBTQ people to additional resources, including the DNC&rsquo;s Voter Hotline that is staffed on weekdays to work with any voters one-on-one to help resolve questions or issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"m_8653364035461810779gmail-docs-internal-guid-8ddf3a8e-4bf5-5b86-5f33-120956fcadeb\">&ldquo;Stonewall showed us that speaking up against abuses is the only way to achieve change.
