Hey John
Did you know kids heading back to school this year are facing more than 30 new education laws targeting LGBTQ+ students? From restrictions on LGBT inclusive education to bans on pronoun and bathroom use, students are navigating school environments that seek to silence their right to be themselves.
That is why the work we do at It Gets Better is more critical than ever. Our school grants program puts power back in the hands of students, funding GSA’s, Pride activations, gender neutral bathrooms, inclusive literature for libraries, and more. Our free to download EduGuides offer students critical information they aren’t getting in schools — deep dives on inclusive language, sex ed and more.
And our Youth Voices program, now in its fourth year, just welcomed a new class of 10 incredible LGBTQ+ students with a shared mission of making things better for their peers.
When you support It Gets Better, you support the future of the LGBTQ+ community. You allow us to empower LGBTQ+ youth so that they can better navigate the world around them, even when it feels like an uphill battle.
Join us. Support it Gets Better and invest in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth today.
