Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a world where justice, compassion, and equality were not just ideals but realities. Today, we honor his legacy and reflect on how it inspires our mission: to build a brighter, more affirming future for LGBTQ+ young people—a future rooted in love, understanding, and acceptance.

Dr. King once said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” At The Trevor Project, we carry this principle forward by providing lifesaving support to LGBTQ+ young people and working to create welcoming environments where they can thrive. Every step toward equity and inclusion brings us closer to a world where every young person feels safe, valued, and supported for who they are.

Creating Hope Through Action

A Brighter Future Starts With Us

Dr. King also said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” On this day of reflection, let us recommit ourselves to answering that call by supporting LGBTQ+ young people, amplifying their voices, and working toward a future where every young person can thrive.

Together, we can honor Dr. King’s legacy by taking action, spreading compassion, and building brighter tomorrows.

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services, as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
