Dear John, Reflecting on 2023, we saw the rapid rise of hate, rhetoric, and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities. While this brought many challenges and uncertainty, we remain hopeful and determined to combat it. Through amplifying our communities and their voices; building and encouraging allyship and safer spaces for 2SLGBTQI folks, and calling upon our institutions and systems to act now, we are ensuring that all the progress made towards 2SLGBTQI belonging and inclusion does not unravel. Your generosity and support have allowed us, and will continue to allow us to do this important work during these challenging times – and for that, we are so grateful. |
