Dear John,

As students return to class, over 6 million will find LGBTQ+-affirming books in their school libraries thanks to GLSEN’s Rainbow Library. They’ll be welcomed by thousands of supportive educators who attended GLSEN’s Professional Development trainings, learning how to make their classrooms more LGBTQ+-inclusive. Local GLSEN Chapters will also provide safe spaces where these students can be their true selves.

However, for each student reached by these programs, there's one who isn’t—yet.

When you take the Challenge to support LGBTQ+ youth, our longtime partner Hollister will match your donation! Make a gift to GLSEN on our Challenge donation page before the deadline and it will have twice the impact!

Imagine, $50 turning into $100, $100 to $200, or $500 to $1,000! Your generosity and our partnership with Hollister will expand LGBTQ+-affirming programs into more schools, reaching more students!

Thank you for welcoming LGBTQ+ youth back to school and making a special gift TODAY.

With Gratitude,

Melanie Willingham-Jaggers
