Dear John,

When discussing our work at It Gets Better, people focus on the words “uplift, empower, and connect LGBTQ+ youth.” And with good reason — it is our mission. 

The words “around the globe” sometimes fly under the radar. We work to make things better for LGBTQ+ youth in the United States. But we are also doing it on a global scale.

Today is the ten-year anniversary of It Gets Better México, marking a decade of unwavering support, advocacy, and empowerment. With the work of a small but mighty staff and incredible volunteers, It Gets Better México is a beacon of hope and resilience for LGBTQ+ youth throughout the country.

Supporting LGBTQ+ youth is critical work that transcends borders. Over the years, our Global Grants Initiative has helped fund It Gets Better México's Hora Segura, its mental health services initiative. It has supported countless hours of community streaming on Twitch. It has allowed us to assist a Global Affiliate Network that extends far beyond It Gets Better México — to four continents and eight different languages.

But we can’t do it without your help.

John, can we count on your support today to help ensure It Gets Better México and the rest of our Global Affiliate Network continue to thrive?

You can read more about It Gets Better México and its critical work over the last decade here!

Thank you for helping us make it better.

P.S. ICYMI, read about one of our other affiliates — It Gets Better Russia — and how they’re back up and running, against all odds, and capturing the stories of LGBTQ+ Russians who have found safety in other parts of the world.
