Friend, I noticed that you haven't activated your membership yet. I wanted to make sure you saw Lauren's email below. We're trying to raise $1M this year, and we can't get there without your support.
There's no time to waste. Every day, our team is fighting misinformation and harmful rhetoric. Right now, we're in Oklahoma — the state with the most anti-LGBTQ legislation — supporting and coaching students from Owasso High School, community members, and local LGBTQ and indigenous organizations. We've seen what happens when hate goes unchecked, and we won't let it stand.
We're almost 1/4 into the new year, so what are you waiting for? Activate your 2024 support now.
Thank you,
Kim Abuelhaj
Senior Director, Annual Giving

Dear Friend,
You've likely heard of “transvestigators,” a group of alt-right radicals who believe that if you don't fit their expectations of gender, then you must be trans and therefore you must be “evil.”
We see them everywhere — on social media, Fox News, and even in Congress — and this election year, they have the potential to gain even more power. Their anti-trans rhetoric harms everyone, whether you're transgender or not, because it puts a target on anyone who doesn't conform to their idea of traditional gender expressions — and that's a slippery slope. We can't afford to lose any focus in the next few months. Will you activate your support today?
In the first five days of 2024, 125 anti-trans bills were introduced nationwide, and with the general election months away, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric is continuing to rise. We need all the resources we can get this year to fight misinformation and accelerate acceptance, so we're stepping it up to raise $1 million in 2024. You can help by becoming a 2024 GLAAD Member.

Just like in 2020, we're making sure LGBTQ people and our allies are educated about the election and are motivated to turn out. We're doing this through polling, media campaigns, and registering and educating voters.
But if you join us this year, we can do much more. Americans are inundated with media, whether it's social media, TV, video games, news, or politics, and GLAAD is the only organization that is protecting and fighting for our community in those spaces.
So please become a 2024 GLAAD Member right away. We know how to move our culture toward 100% LGBTQ acceptance, and we can't lose focus on our mission. Activate your 2024 support now.
