Dear  Friend,  

Last Sunday, GLAAD raised over $230,000 on behalf of Centerlink and LGBT Community Centers nationwide through our “Together In Pride: You Are Not Alone” virtual concert. GLAAD’s mission of building community and ensuring that the needs of LGBTQ people are represented and addressed could not be more important in times like these. Over 500,000 people tuned in to view, participate, and support our community centers and each other. 

In case you missed it, or can’t get enough, the show can be found here.

Friend, as you know, GLAAD will not rest until there is 100% acceptance of LGBTQ people across the world. Your support of GLAAD today will help us advance the goals of 

• Bringing the community together to celebrate our wonderful diversity while acknowledging our common identity.  Events like this and the many GLAAD events throughout the year give us moments to do just that.  We see ourselves reflected on the screen and in each other.   

• Fighting as the community watchdog ensuring we are treated fairly by our government, in news and entertainment and in community affairs.  Our Rapid Response group meets daily to analyze the news cycle, amplify LGBTQ stories and fight back against anti-LGBTQ politicians and activists. 

• Educating and empowering an army of advocates across the country to tell their own stories and enlighten those around them.  We do this through our GLAAD Media Institute that has trained over 12,000 people and given them the tools to communicate and represent us all. The GMI also works as partners with global brands and storytellers creating LGBTQ-inclusive films, television shows, journalism, ads, video games, workplaces, children’s books, and more. 

It was our honor to present “Together in Pride: You Are Not Alone” to unite our community during this time of isolation. It was our honor to stand with Centerlink and community centers nationwide, especially those who are in un-affirming locations.  And now we ask, if you are able, that you stand with us in support of our work on behalf of the community.

Please make monthly recurring gift or a single gift HERE.

Wishing health and safety to you and yours.

Sincerely,

Bill McDermott
Chief Developement Officer
