It can also be a powerful opportunity to share how discriminatory rhetoric, legislation, and even school policies directly affect you, your family, and your entire community, right now.
We know it can be overwhelming to get started, so we made this easy template for you. Here’s how it works:

Submit! Our form will automatically find and send to your chosen outlet, so they know where you stand.
If you’ve been looking for new ways to advocate for the LGBTQ community, use this powerful avenue to reach people, move hearts and change minds. Thank you for doing your part to accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ people.
P.S. We would love to know if your letter gets published! Feel free to tag us with a link to your letter on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, along with the hashtag #votewithpride, so we can celebrate!
