Friends –

All this month members of our staff have shared stories about some of their favorite projects, accomplishments, and victories of 2021. We hope you know that this movement for lived and legal equality for LGBTQ Southerners is only as strong as it is because of the solidarity, support, and generosity from the entire Campaign for Southern Equality community, including you. 

We are committed, each and every day, to pursuing strategies that give LGBTQ Southerners the best chance at being able to thrive and show up as their full self in every space in their communities. We'll keep pushing toward that in 2022 – and we're so grateful for everyone who has dug deep this month to support this work.

At the beginning of December we received an ambitious matching gift challenge from a generous donor: Raise $50,000 and every dollar will be matched. Now, with just a few hours left in 2021, we're *so close* to reaching that goal. We're just shy of $2,000 away from the $50,000 goal.

If you've already donated this month, THANK YOU. If you haven't yet, can you help us close the gap? Just click here to make an end-of-year, tax-deductible donation to the Campaign for Southern Equality, and every dollar will be doubled immediately. 

We know that 2021 has been a challenging year for so many people in our community. It's been a challenging year in so many ways. But seeing the solidarity from y'all, the commitment to this mission, and the belief in our team to make an impact has been inspiring and humbling. 

If you're still looking to make an end-of-year donation to CSE and can help us close the $2,000 gap toward our $50,000 matching gift goal, please click here and make a donation. 

Y'all means all – and there's no y'all without you. Thank you.

The Campaign for Southern Equality Team
