This Week: Love Votes Week of Action

There are only 14 days left until Election Day where voters will have the power to determine whether LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones will have the freedom to learn, thrive, and be themselves. Join us THIS WEEK for our second Love Votes Week of Action! This week focuses on making sure you have a voting plan, helping your friends and family do the same, and learning strategies to get out the vote.

Check out this email we sent earlier today with specific steps you can take this week to be prepared. You can also head over to pflag.org/LoveVotes to find resources, ways you can get involved, and more.

PFLAG Connects: Communities November Meetings

PFLAG Connects: Communities (PCC) provide a safe, virtual, moderated space where people with shared experiences can connect each month. PFLAG National’s current communities gather people of Latino, Black/African American, Asian American and Pacific Islander backgrounds—as well as military families (in partnership with our friends at the Modern Military Association of America [MMAA]), families with gender-diverse loved ones, and grandparents—to gain support, ask questions, and learn from others who have been through similar experiences. These meetings cater primarily to family members of LGBTQ+ people, and also welcome members of the LGBTQ+ community.
