Hi John

When my friends at It Gets Better reached out and asked if I’d post about this year’s end-of-year fundraising campaign, it was an easy yes. When they told me the theme was “Joy Rebellion,” I knew I had to do more. Because if there’s one thing this world desperately needs right now, it’s joy.

Growing up as a queer kid is rarely “easy.” But finding moments that make you feel seen, supported, and alive makes it better. Organizations like It Gets Better are committed to giving LGBTQ+ youth those experiences every day. They’re empowering tomorrow’s leaders and giving them the freedom to dream big and feel strong.

Donate for Giving Tuesday and your impact will be doubled thanks to a $10,000 match from our Board of Directors. [[link removed]]

Earlier this year, I had the incredible honor of dancing on stage at the Oscars with my fellow castmates from the film Barbie. Dancing has always been a lifeline for me, a way to feel free and express myself. But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that passion would lead to performing on the Oscars stage — with Ryan Gosling, no less!

That’s the magic of discovering what makes you come alive: it can take you to extraordinary places. And that’s why organizations like It Gets Better are more essential than ever. The world can be heavy, stressful, and sometimes downright unfair — even more so when those in power try to make you feel like you don’t matter.

Moments that lift you up are what get you through to the other side. It Gets Better is here to ensure LGBTQ+ youth have the resources, support, and community to hold on to those life-changing experiences and carry them into a brighter future.

For Giving Tuesday, join the “Joy Rebellion” [[link removed]] and uplift the next generation of queer leaders and dreamers. Your donation will create opportunities, spark creativity, and show our youth they are deserving of everything this world has to offer. Plus, when you give today, your donation will be matched up to $10,000 [[link removed]] by our Board of Directors [[link removed]] — and when you give $50 or more, you snag an exclusive Joy Rebellion beanie. But only when you give RIGHT NOW for Giving Tuesday [[link removed]].

Let’s make sure every queer kid has the chance to live boldly, dream big, and discover what makes them shine.
