Hi Friend,

We were aware going to the November elections that 90% of LGBTQ+ young people shared that recent politics negatively impacted their well-being. We had no idea this would mean a triple-digit surge in contacts to those reaching out to our crisis counselors after the election.

After analyzing the full day of post-election conversations across our Crisis Services team, we saw an overall volume increase of over 700% on November 6, compared to weeks prior. Election-related content in conversations has increased by nearly 5,200% compared to averages leading up to election day.

Friend, your support today is critical.

As you make your year-end giving plans, please think of the LGBTQ+ young people who will reach out to The Trevor Project today. Last fiscal year, Trevor supported nearly half a million contacts who reached out to our crisis services.

For many young people, the one affirming adult in their lives will be a Trevor crisis counselor. You can be the one ally to help protect and support them with a gift to Trevor today. 

Trevor research tells us that LGBTQ+ young people with at least one accepting adult in their life report significantly lower rates of attempting suicide — in many instances by 40%.

Friend, be the one caring person who helps connect an LGBTQ+ young person with the life-saving affirmation, hope, and support they need to envision their own bright future. Thank you, in advance, for protecting LGBTQ+ young people when they need us the most.

With gratitude,

Jamie Kelly
