Donald Trump’s presidency has already proven to paint a dark portrait of America, and now he’s prepared to put plans in place to rob youth and the next generation of their opportunity to succeed. In the first week of his presidency, Donald Trump issued a litany of executive orders, one of which targets transgender, nonbinary, and intersex communities, and many of which threaten to weaken our democracy, civil rights, and our public education system. He and his administration continue to target our community with hate and division. The stakes are higher than ever for LGBTQ+ youth, and they need your help. Right now, GLSEN’s work to make our nation’s educational spaces safe is more vital than ever. |
Even faced with an extremist political agenda that seeks to eliminate essential organizations like ours, we promise to continue advocating for LGBTQ+ youth, partnering with teachers to support all their students, and advocating for policy change at the federal and state levels that delivers safer and more inclusive schools for all. Your donation today will be used to keep our momentum going—to provide more safe spaces for students through educator training and GSAs, to keep inclusivity in our libraries through Rainbow Library books, and bolster our policy team’s work in Washington and state capitals across the country. All of this requires resources and time, which is why we need supporters like you.
Please consider becoming a monthly donor and member of the Dean’s List with a recurring gift to continue this fight through the next four years. If you already give monthly, please consider a special one-time gift to strengthen our efforts in this most crucial time. |
The fight continues and we are in this together.
In solidarity, |
