Dear John In what seems like a never-ending cycle of harmful news coming at us from every angle, we know that now more than ever the need for community empowerment and education is at an all-time high. Please join us today as we kick off our Season of Equality with Giving Tuesday, a global day of radical generosity. Over the past year we’ve watched alongside you as lawmakers and opposition groups have made deliberate attacks against our transgender and non-binary community, with a particular focus on youth and students. As we look to the new year, we already see the rumblings of more of this to come, and we will not stop fighting beside you. That's why we're asking for your support this Giving Tuesday. Every dollar raised during Giving Tuesday, and throughout the month of December, will strengthen critical work, such as our Safe Schools Action Network, General Assembly programming, and community outreach. A gift of any size will help provide resources, training, and more for LGBTQ+ and allied advocates in every corner of our Commonwealth so that our community can create long-lasting change across the state. There are many ways for you to help support our mission… There is no way we can do this work without you, and we understand that there is no one-size fits all fix. While this isn’t a fight we should still be fighting, we are inspired every day by your unwavering strength. You have stood beside us for over 30 years to keep Virginia safe for all LGBTQ+ Virginians, and we will make sure that stays a reality. Sincerely, Mario Guevara (he/him) Development and Operations Coordinator P.S. We could not do this work alone. If you make a gift to EV, please consider supporting one of our incredible community partners. Our community is stronger together! |
