Dear John,

As #GivingTuesdayNow draws to a close, this is our final email of the day, so I wanted to update you to let you know that we are just $2,031 dollars short of our goal of $15,000 for this #GivingTuesdayNow. It's not too late if you want to join us - everything is matched today so you can double your impact. 

I also wanted to share with you some of the exciting work we’re doing on OutRight TV. One of our latest episodes features Executive Director Jessica Stern with none other than the amazing Karamo Brown.

Do you know Karamo? Well, if you aren’t familiar with the new Queer Eye, this episode is your chance to get a more intimate look at one of Netflix’s most fabulous shows. In this episode, Jessica talks with the Queer Eye star about his time as an OutRight Board member, his work as a queer activist, interconnectivity in the global LGBTIQ movement, and the Fab Five coming to OutRight.
 
OutRight has responded in many different ways to the global COVID-19 outbreak. Along with our Emergency Fund, OutRight TV was created in order to address the struggles people in our community are facing. Jessica Stern and Karamo Brown talk about the global effect of COVID-19 on the LGBTIQ community, and the marginalization of its people.

It’s important during these troubling times to look for the light in the darkness. Our sincerest thank-yous go out to Karamo Brown and everyone who has contributed to OutRight’s Covid-19 Emergency Fund. With your help, we've raised $13,000 so far!

Your generous support, as well as the work of so many great grassroots organizations around the world, is evidence that we are truly coming together as a global community. Together, we will make it through these troubling times, and come out stronger on the other side. 
 
“It's up to us to let them know, our LGBTQIA+ family members who are overseas, that though your government doesn't care, WE CARE."

                                                                                                      - Karamo Brown
