Dear John - We’ve had an incredible Pride Month here at the It Gets Better Project and are blown away by all of your generous donations. Now, we’d like to shine the light on some other worthy organizations serving the LGBTQ+ community. Each of these organizations was the recipient of a grant from the It Gets Better Project at the end of 2020 and is doing essential work to make things better for LGBTQ+ people. Please consider making a donation to support their work in honor of Give OUT Day! QWOCMAP (Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project) uses film to shatter stereotypes and bias, reveal the lived truth of inequality, address the vital, intersecting issues that concern multiple populations, and build understanding and community around art and social justice. BTFA Collective
(Black Trans Femmes in the Arts) creates spaces for the production and preservation of Black trans art and culture by building community with Black trans femme artists and providing them with the resources and support necessary to thrive. Southerners on New Ground (SONG) is a home for LGBTQ liberation across all lines of race, class, abilities, age, culture, gender, and sexuality in
the South. Waves Ahead offers support to the marginalized and vulnerable sectors of society by giving them the necessary help to strengthen their community and family environment. United We Dream creates welcoming spaces for young people - regardless of immigration status - to support, engage, and empower them to make their voice heard and win! Trans Tech Social Enterprises is an incubator for LGBTQ Talent with a focus on economically empowering the T, transgender people, in our community. BreakOUT! seeks to end the criminalization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth to build a safer and
more just New Orleans. TRUTH (TRANS YOUTH) is a youth-led program for trans and gender-nonconforming young people to build public understanding, empathy, and a movement for liberation through storytelling and media organizing. The Okra Project is a collective that seeks to address the global crisis faced by Black Trans people by bringing home-cooked, healthy, and culturally specific meals and resources to Black Trans People wherever we can reach them.
Thank you for your support this Give OUT Day. With every donation, you
are helping to pave the way for a better tomorrow for the LGBTQ+ community. - It Gets Better Project
