Hi Friend of Trevor,

All of us at The Trevor Project are gearing up for Pride 2023, which starts next month. It’s a time to share our stories and show the power of us. The “Us” is you, me, and every supportive and affirming person. When we unite, we create and connect LGBTQ young people to communities that support them.

Trevor research shows that LGBTQ young people who feel accepted and safe — whether online or with friends, family, and other adults in their immediate circle — are at lower risk of attempting suicide than their peers who do not. So, LGBTQ youth-affirming communities can make a life-saving difference.

Here are 5 ways you can reaffirm your commitment to the power of us — and support LGBTQ young people every day of the year.

1. BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR

Through their reliable monthly support, Luminaries help power all of Trevor’s work — advocacy, crisis services, peer support, public education, and research. No matter the amount, your ongoing support helps Trevor show up every day.

2. BECOME AN ADVOCATE FOR LGBTQ YOUNG PEOPLE

Around the country, Trevor’s research and advocacy teams support locally led community organizations that promote affirming laws, policies, and practices — and fight those that threaten the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ young people. You can play a role in these life-saving efforts! Please text TREVOR to 40649*. We’ll let you know when we need you to take action in your state.

*The Trevor Project Mobile Alerts: Advocacy Calls-to-Action. Approx 2 messages/month. Msg & Data rates may apply. Text STOP to cancel. Text HELP for more information.

3. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR WORK

Follow The Trevor Project on social media to get the latest news and information about our efforts to create a more loving, inclusive world for LGBTQ young people.

4. MAKE ENDING LGBTQ YOUTH SUICIDE YOUR LEGACY

Including Trevor in your estate planning is your opportunity to support future generations of LGBTQ young people. If you have any questions about legacy and other forms of giving, please reach out to [email protected] or learn more here.

5. JOIN TREVOR’S 52 MILE PRIDE RIDE CHALLENGE
