Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, a powerful reminder that amplifying trans voices is necessary to create real change. That is why until midnight tonight, the Lewis family will match your gift—dollar-for-dollar—to power GLAAD’s urgent efforts to ensure trans stories are seen, heard, and represented accurately in the media. Across the country, transgender people are being targeted at an alarming rate. Their rights are being stripped away, their healthcare banned, their very existence challenged. Misinformation and hateful rhetoric fuel these attacks, and extremist politicians use them to justify harmful policies. But together we can fight back—your matched gift today will provide twice as many resources to fuel GLAAD’s essential programs like: GLAAD ALERT Desk: A first-of-its-kind resource providing journalists with rapid-response facts to counter anti-trans misinformation. Targeted Newsroom Briefings: Training local and national reporters to tell accurate, human-centered stories about trans people, ensuring extremists' rhetoric does not go unchallenged. Hyperlocal News & Rapid Response: Holding lawmakers accountable by making sure their records on LGBTQ issues are known, from mainstream media like NPR to local news. Social Media Safety Program: Pushing major platforms to adopt policies that protect trans users from harassment and hate speech. GLAAD Media Institute: Training trans and nonbinary advocates to speak out, influence narratives, and shift public opinion in their own communities.
