John —

More than 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the US this year. It is an unprecedented attack on our community – and LGBTQ+ young people everywhere are now fighting for their autonomy, their rights, their freedom — even their youth. They deserve more than being props for political gain.

We need your help to fight [[link removed]] these vicious attacks and put power and positivity back where it belongs: into the hands of the kids these bills will ultimately impact.

This Give OUT Day, please join us in empowering the next generation of LGBTQ+ leaders [[link removed]]. Help us inspire them to grow and flourish wherever they might be on their journey – and send a message to all LGBTQ+ young people that they are worthy of respect and the right to live unapologetically.

We need to raise $10,000 by midnight [[link removed]], which will give us the ability to reach and connect with millions of young people through powerful It Gets Better storytelling initiatives, educational programming, and digital community-building efforts. Here’s how you can help.

1. Make a donation to the It Gets Better Project. [[link removed]]

2. Recruit your friends to help raise funds for the It Gets Better Project with you. Launch your own campaign today [[link removed]].

3. Take the It Gets Better pledge [[link removed]] and commit to being an ally for LGBTQ+ youth, then forward this email to folks you think will support them too.

Together, we can continue to fight for LGBTQ+ young people [[link removed]] by arming them with the confidence and the resources to speak out and fight for the world they want to live in. We are in this for the long haul, standing right alongside the young leaders of tomorrow.

Are you with us [[link removed]]?
