Friend, I wanted to forward Allison's email below because she really nailed it. If we don't shut down hate and misinformation, we can't protect our community. That's why we're so grateful to have you on our side. Our work for 100% LGBTQ acceptance would not be possible without people like you showing up and showing out.

I hope you'll consider supporting us now. There's a lot at stake for the last few months of 2024 — including basic human rights like same-sex marriage and bodily autonomy — and we need you to stay by our side to protect the LGBTQ community.

Ahead of the election in November, we're ensuring voters understand what's at stake. That's why we're fighting misinformation by fact-checking candidates live at key events like debates, and working with the media to ensure LGBTQ issues get the coverage they deserve.

Give now and let's keep accelerating — together!

Thank you,

Senior Director, Annual Giving

Together let's build the future we deserve.

MAKE A GIFT

Dear Friend,

Is it just me, or are you sick of living in unprecedented times?

States are debating book bans, drag bans, restrictions on healthcare access, whether or not a kid can play a sport... and Clarence Thomas laid it out bare for us: With Roe out of the way, the Supreme Court is coming for same-sex marriage next.

Year over year, the anti-LGBTQ crowd tries to bully our community out of existence — but we stand firm, because we have you on our side.

Your support makes it possible for us to respond to every “unprecedented” event and crisis. You have rallied for our community, for our fundamental rights, for our bodily autonomy, and for our future. Thank you.

Like you, I'm tired. I don't want to open my mailbox to more slanderous political postcards, or reply “STOP” to another robo-text asking me to participate in a poll, or hear another soundbite of some a**hole podcast host spreading straight-up lies about drag queens.

But we have to keep going to build the future we deserve. We're going to need every bit of strength to tackle that work, and I hope I can count on your support.

Please make a gift to GLAAD today and ensure we can continue showing up for our community.

Thank you,

Allison Hasser (she/her)
Vice President, Individual Giving

P.S. Did you know? When there's more accurate representation across media, more non-LGBTQ people are inspired to speak up for equality and reject extremist candidates. When I say we're building community and building a future, I mean it. Your support has real sway — so I hope you'll join GLAAD with a gift today. And remember, nearly 80 cents of every dollar goes directly toward our programs working towards 100% LGBTQ acceptance. We're proud of our charity ratings; almost as proud as we are to call you a supporter.
