Dear Friend,

Earlier this week, the administration was questioned by CBS News about its proposed elimination of funding for LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention in their budget.

In their response, the White House doubled down on not funding what they called “a chat service where children are encouraged to embrace radical gender ideology by ‘counselors’ without consent or knowledge of their parents.”

The Trevor Project has always put people over politics. So regardless of how our life-saving programs are misconstrued, we’re doubling down on working with friends and allies across all parties to save the lives of LGBTQ+ young people.

This includes preparing for the very real possibility that Congress won’t be able to stop this funding from being eliminated.

That’s why Trevor has launched an Emergency Lifeline Campaign to ensure we can always support LGBTQ+ youth in crisis, no matter what the future holds.

More than 1,490 Trevor supporters have joined the campaign so far. We have a goal of reaching 2,250 by Monday. Can I count on you to join this vital effort with a gift today?

Record numbers of LGBTQ+ young people are feeling so much pain that they’re not sure they want to live to see another day.

They’re asking our counselors questions that no kid should have to ask…
“Is it safe for me to be myself?”
“Where will I go if my parents kick me out?”
“Am I always going to feel this scared?”

We got nearly 500,000 calls and chats like this last year from LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. Federal funds allowed us to respond to half of them. Gifts from kind, caring people like you enabled us to respond to the other half. And it’s your generosity that will get us through this crisis.

I hope you will show your commitment to our young people by making your first donation now as part of this special campaign.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Janson Wu (he/him) 
Vice President of Advocacy & Government Affairs
