Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday

This is usually the spot where we offer support to you--this week, we're asking you to consider supporting us for #GivingTuesday! This global day of giving, following major holiday shopping days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is a way to not just give to the people you love, but to give to the causes you care deeply about.

Can we count on you to give an early #GivingTuesday gift today? 

You are critical in helping to ensure every parent, family member, and ally of an LGBTQ+ person has the resources they need to affirm and support their loved one--and that every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. 

Visit pflag.org/GiveToday, or text PFLAG to 41444. We are grateful for you and all that you do to create a caring, just and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.
