Pride Month is over, but advancing the civil rights of LGBTQ+ youth is always a
top priority. Take 60 seconds to reach out to your Senators and demand they take action to protect LGBTQ+ youth

federal protections from sex discrimination — including harassment — so that all people regardless of who they love or how they identify have equal
access to education, employment, housing, public places and services,
federally-funded programs, and more.
