Dear John,

Happy New Year! I wanted to take the time to look back on 2021 and appreciate you for continuing to fight towards giving LGBTQ+ people the ability to live a simple, just life — something every individual deserves.

With a new year ahead, you might have a list of intentions or resolutions you wish to accomplish. I want to add one more simple resolution to that list: creating your free estate plan.

This might be surprising, however, this process doesn’t have to be overwhelming, difficult, or time-consuming. Thanks to our partnership with FreeWill, you can create your plans with their free online tool within minutes in the comfort of your own home. Their trusted will-writing platform has helped more than 400,000 people create a plan to protect their loved ones and assets both easily and cost-free. Having a plan in place helps you:

• Ensure your family, friends, and pets can always count on you
• Exercise agency over the important decisions in your life, including identifying beneficiaries for your assets
• Continue to fight against anti-LGBTQ+ policies within every state until every LGBTQ+ individual is fully empowered and represented in their communities and experiences full equality in their lives

We are committed to providing our community with helpful resources that will make a positive impact. I hope this simple tool can help you secure your future and get peace of mind.

Thank you for your commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, both past and present.

Best wishes,

Joellyn Wilken Weingourt
