Dear Friend,
In just a few short days, we will inaugurate a new President and Vice
President and begin to turn the page on the hate and division that has
marked the last four years. GLAAD is proud to be a nonprofit partner
of the Biden-Harris Inaugural Committee, and we hope that you will
join us by taking part in one or more opportunities below to celebrate
our democracy as we recommit ourselves to the ideals of equality,
inclusion, and diversity.
We'll be in touch throughout these historic upcoming days as we
honor our nation and prepare for the work that lies ahead to achieve
full equality and acceptance for LGBTQ people and all marginalized
communities in this country.
Sincerely,
Sarah Kate Ellis
GLAAD President + CEO

Monday, January 18: All Day
We will honor the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a National
Day of Service, an opportunity for all Americans to unite and serve at
a time when the global pandemic calls on all of us to work together
and support our communities. No matter where you are, you have an
opportunity to give back. Most volunteer activities only require an
hour or two of your time, and all events will be virtual or socially
distanced, in accordance with CDC protocol. Click here to find an
event.

GLAAD presents RECLAIMING OUR GROUND: A Preinaguration Conversation
About the Future of LGBTQ Equality in America | Join GLAAD for a
conversation with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel about the
state of LGBTQ equality and acceptance in America, the new
Biden-Harris administration's commitment to supporting LGBTQ
people in the U.S. and around the world, and how communities can come
together to ensure success. The conversation will be hosted by The

GLAAD will participate in a National Memorial Moment to Remember and
Honor the Lives Lost to COVID-19 in cities and towns across the
country. A Washington, D.C. ceremony will feature a lighting around
the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and GLAAD asks that you join us
on your social media channels to pay tribute during this time. Stay
tuned to our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages to get the tools
you'll need to participate. You can also join by placing candles
in your windows at home, encouraging local landmarks to be lit in
amber, or by ringing bells in remembrance.

Wednesday, January 20: Noon ET/9 a.m. PT
Since we can't gather on the National Mall as would be customary
to celebrate the inauguration of a new President and Vice President,
GLAAD is partnering with the Biden-Harris Inaugural Committee to
install a Field of Flags on the National Mall featuring nearly 200,000
American Flags. You can make a contribution and become a symbolic
sponsor, and when you do, your tax deductible gift will be split
between GLAAD and dozens of other charities across our country doing
vital work in our communities. We hope you'll consider a
contribution of at least $25 - Click here to give.
