ACLU Supporter,

With so much on the line in 2024, we can't afford to slow down now – not during Pride Month, not ever. Especially not when trans youth are under attack nationwide.

Here's what trans kids are facing today:

• Restrictive laws preventing access to gender-affirming care
• Bathroom bans forcing trans kids to use bathrooms they don't feel safe or comfortable in
• Discriminatory legislation stopping trans students from participating in school activities like sports
• Censorship of in-school discussions of LGBTQ people and issues

That's why we're launching a special campaign to raise $30,000 to help fund the ACLU's work defending LGBTQ rights and all our civil liberties – and a generous donor is matching every gift up until our deadline at midnight tomorrow.

Can we count on you to make your first donation right now so we can meet our $30,000 Pride Month goal? Your first gift will have double the impact to protect trans youth and LGBTQ people across the nation.

ACLU Supporter, these discriminatory policies keep trans students from having an inclusive and safe learning environment – and disproportionately harm Black youth and youth of color. One parent in Virginia put it best:

Yet despite facing these endless attacks on their identities and their very personhood, trans people continue to lead the charge so they – and all of us – can live fully as themselves. We cannot and will not let them fight alone, ACLU Supporter.

Through advocacy, litigation, and lobbying, we're ready to fight alongside LGBTQ leaders and take on all of these challenges and win – from local school boards to statehouses and beyond. The ACLU has been a leader in the fight for LGBTQ rights for decades – and we're not stopping now.

But we need your support to ensure we can keep doing what we do best without having to scale back our efforts.

So please, don't wait to make this 2X impact when it's needed most: Will you rush a matched donation now to help us hit our $30,000 goal to protect LGBTQ people and all our rights before our deadline tomorrow?

Thank you for your commitment to fighting for trans kids and all LGBTQ people,

The ACLU Team
