Team, as you may have already heard, Nex Benedict, a non-binary teenager, died a day after being attacked at Nex’s high school in Oklahoma.
In the wake of this horrible news, Freedom Oklahoma — Nex’s home state 2SLGBTQ+ advocacy organization and a Groundwork grantee — immediately began rallying for justice.
As state lawmakers continue to dehumanize and target the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Freedom Oklahoma has sounded the alarm about the real danger elected officials can cause by amplifying and validating threats to transgender and non-binary youth.
Now, an innocent child’s life has been lost and dangerous anti-2SLGBTQ+ rhetoric continues to be spread even after Nex’s tragic death.
If you’re feeling outraged or heartbroken like we are, please consider contributing to Freedom Oklahoma. Your donation will have an immediate impact as they demand accountability and fight to protect and support trans and non-binary youth:
