Dear John, Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience (TDOR), a day to honor transgender people whose lives were taken by violence, especially Black and brown trans women, who are disproportionately affected by such violence. It is also a day of resilience, as the community is under attack like never before. But while transgender people are resilient, they shouldn’t have to be. Our trans loved ones deserve to be able to thrive and be their authentic selves, free from the animosity they’ve been facing publicly in recent years and less publicly for decades before that. Since 1998, PFLAG has expressly included transgender people in our mission, and we won’t stop now. Please help us do this critical work with a gift to PFLAG today. A campaign of hate-driven misinformation and disinformation is leading to real-world harm. PFLAG is uniquely positioned to mitigate that harm, meeting unfounded fear with facts, supporting and uplifting the families of trans folks with the resources they need to support their loved ones, and advocating at every level fairness, inclusion, and justice. With your gift to PFLAG today – in honor of our trans loved ones – together we’ll continue the fight for equal rights and the freedom to access medical care, work together to create an inclusive society, and advocate side-by-side with our trans loved ones so that they are safe, celebrated, empowered and loved in every aspect of their lives. Gratefully, |
