Dear John, Today is the last day of Pride Month and Give OUT Day, the national day of giving for the LGBTQ+ community. Pride Month is a time of celebration, but it is rooted in protest and a fight for basic fundamental rights. PFLAG roots are Pride’s roots, and so together, we must take action. Thanks to our friends at Big Little Feelings, your #GiveOUTDay gift to PFLAG National today will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $15,000! We’re proud to partner with Big Little Feelings – an organization dedicated to supporting parents with toddlers – this month to support parents of LGBTQ+ kids. Your gift today will be put to work immediately toward: - Fighting anti-LGBTQ+ censorship in schools and libraries with tools and trainings through our #ReadWithLove campaign;
- Uplifting and centering the needs of BIPOC families through our PFLAG Connects: Communities virtual support meetings for Black/African American, Latino, and AAPI families;
- Creating and distributing PFLAG publications including recently released titles like At Ease: Support for Military Families with LGBTQ+ Children and Teens, and Supporting Your LGBTQ+ Grandchild; and
- Elevating family stories and LGBTQ+ visibility — not just during Pride Month but all year long — through partnerships, media campaigns, and other public awareness efforts so that every parent, family member, ally, or LGBTQ+ person who needs PFLAG can find PFLAG.

Your support is more important than ever, and all of us at PFLAG National are grateful to have you by our side. With gratitude, Brian K. Bond (he/him), Executive Director PFLAG National | |
