Did you see President Biden's speech at the 2025 International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference, John?

He reminded us that we will emerge from these crises “stronger, wiser, more resilient, and more just — so long as we keep the faith, summon hope, get back up, and remember who in the hell we are.” And he’s right. We can do anything — if we do it together.

But together is getting harder when extremists are escalating their attacks at home and abroad. 616 anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced in 2025 alone. Entire communities are being targeted, rights are being rolled back, and the message is clear: they want us scared, silent, and isolated.

That’s why Victory Institute’s work has never been more urgent. We are the only global organization training LGBTQ+ people to become the public leaders our communities need. And this year, we trained over 2,000 future leaders, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and networks to step into public life — from school boards to national parliaments — and push back against the hate with courage and clarity.

But we can’t scale this work without you. Pitch in today to expand our trainings, support emerging LGBTQ+ leaders around the world, and meet this moment with the strength it demands!

Victory Institute is fighting every day to build a more just, more inclusive world — one where the next generation of leaders is ready to stand up, speak out, and win real change. But we can’t do it alone.

Stand with President Biden and Victory Institute — let’s work together, fight together, and win together. Donate today.

Thank you for your generous support,

LGBTQ+ Victory Institute
