Join us for Bi+ Awareness Week

Friend,
It’s Bi+ Awareness Week, and we can hardly contain our excitement about this news: Emmy-nominated animator, writer, singer-songwriter, and bisexual and nonbinary ICON (!!!) Rebecca Sugar is hosting a virtual concert this Sunday to help raise money for The Trevor Project!
You might know Rebecca as the creator of Cartoon Network’s hit TV show “Steven Universe” and writer for “Adventure Time.” We know them as a Trevor board member and an incredible advocate and inspiration to LGBTQ young people everywhere.
Did you know bi+ people make up 75% of young people* who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual? While all LGBTQ young people are at a higher risk of experiencing negative mental health outcomes than their straight and cisgender peers, bisexual youth statistically face even more challenges than lesbian and gay youth. According to The Trevor Project’s research:
* Almost half of bisexual youth seriously considered suicide in the past year.
* More than one in three bisexual youth reported being bullied at school.
With biphobia and bisexual erasure still prevalent in today’s society, the LGBTQ representation that Rebecca has brought to popular culture is essential in creating a more understanding and affirming world for bi+ youth.

That’s why we’re so excited that Rebecca Sugar is hosting a virtual concert on their Instagram page this Sunday, September 19th, from 5 - 7p.m. ET. We’d love it if you could join and celebrate Bi+ Awareness Week with us! ([link removed])
During the concert, Rebecca will be helping to raise money for The Trevor Project, so that we can continue to provide 24/7 support to LGBTQ young people in crisis and help end LGBTQ youth suicide.
We’re hoping to surprise Rebecca with a flood of support and donations to Trevor before the concert starts, so they can feel the same love they’ve given to so many LGBTQ young people. Can we count on you to make a donation today to support The Trevor Project and our life-saving work? ([link removed])
Even if you’re unable to monetarily support, your presence on Sunday will make all the difference in the lives of LGBTQ young people.
Hope to see you Sunday,
Team Trevor
