John,

Here’s something you may have missed amid all the news about mass protests in Los Angeles, war in the Middle East, and Trump’s latest chaos of the day:

The Trump administration just eliminated the LGBTQ+ youth option on the national suicide hotline.

It was a deliberate decision—during Pride Month—to score political points. The administration called the service “radical gender ideology.” Never mind that it handled over 230,000 crisis contacts last year. Never mind that LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide.

Right now, stories like this—stories about the real-world harm the Trump administration is doing—rarely get the attention they deserve.

From DOGE to slashing funding for cancer and Alzheimer’s research to cutting off vital mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth, this administration is causing real harm to real people—and the media isn’t doing enough to make that clear to the American public.

At COURIER, we do it differently. Our social media posts on the hotline cuts have already reached millions online—and that’s just the start.

We can keep growing and expand our reach with your support. If you want to help expose the true cost of Trump’s cruelty—and make sure stories like this reach the people who need to see them—chip in $25 or whatever you can today.

Chip in now

In solidarity,
The COURIER Team
