** Hi Friend,
------------------------------------------------------------

The news of today’s Supreme Court decision has caused a number of LGBTQ young people to reach out to The Trevor Project to share their rightful concerns. Today, like every other day, we want to reiterate to young people everywhere that we are here for them 24/7.

Read this statement from Amit Paley (he/him pronouns), CEO & Executive Director:


** “The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is causing many people to experience a wide range of concerns for bodily autonomy, LGBTQ rights, and public health, including mental health. The Trevor Project’s polling ([link removed]) has found that nearly 70% of LGBTQ young people say efforts to restrict access to abortion often gave them stress or anxiety.
------------------------------------------------------------


** “Overturning Roe v. Wade will allow states to further restrict and regulate essential health care and reduce access to the already limited number of LGBTQ-competent providers in many parts of the country, posing a threat to the health and safety of young LGBTQ people. In undermining decades of jurisprudence on the constitutional right to privacy, this decision could also jeopardize the rights afforded to LGBTQ people in the landmark Obergefell and Lawrence decisions — to love who you love and be who you are without fear of criminalization.
------------------------------------------------------------



** “The Trevor Project will not stop fighting to establish true, lived equality for LGBTQ people, and our counselors are here 24/7 to support all young LGBTQ people across the country who may be feeling a wide range of emotions — including fear, stress, and anxiety — in response to this decision.”
------------------------------------------------------------

Amit said it best: The Trevor Project will not stop until all LGBTQ young people feel safe and loved. This decision is affecting LGBTQ people of all ages — with feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and simply, fear. If you are or know any LGBTQ youth who need help navigating this hard time, please reach out to us. You can call, chat, or text ([link removed]) with a counselor immediately at any time.

With you always,

Your friends at The Trevor Project
