Join Us Wednesday to Celebrate Champions of Equality

This Wednesday, July 21st is PFLAG National's Moving Equality Forward virtual event, hosted by Tony Award-winning actor BD Wong - and YOU ARE INVITED!

This ticketed event celebrates recent victories for the LGBTQ+ community and honors Sen. Tammy Baldwin with the Champion of Justice Award. It is a chance to hear directly from the state and federal elected leaders who are working for LGBTQ+ equality and learn about PFLAG National’s new initiatives to support LGBTQ+ people and their families. 

Join us starting at 6:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM PT this Wednesday, July 21st.

Education

Reminder! PFLAG Academy Online Bi+ 101 is tomorrow night

The LGBTQ+ community is inclusive of many, but too often certain letters -- and people -- are less visible. As allies become increasingly educated about the LGBTQ+ community and feel more comfortable in these spaces and in this advocacy, there is still an unfortunate lack of representation and understanding of the bisexual+ community.

Please join PFLAG National for PFLAG Academy Online tomorrow, Tuesday July 20th at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT to learn more about the largest identity group within the LGBTQ+ community. We’ll help you understand why it’s so important to understand and respect bi+ people and give you tools to be a great bi+ ally. We’ll help you get connected with organizations led by, and resources created for, individuals and communities with bisexual+ identities. And be sure to stay tuned for bisexual+ 202, coming this September!

Register now for this session of PFLAG Academy Online.

Advocacy

Tell Your Senators to Confirm Catherine Lhamon as Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights

Catherine Lhamon is a fierce advocate of Title IX's inclusion of LGBTQ+ people and has worked to ensure discrimination has no place in our schools. Let your senators know that as a PFLAGer, you support Catherine Lhamon as Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education -- and you want them to, too!

Take five minutes to contact your senators ahead of this week's vote.
