Hello John —
My name is Erika Cisneros and I live in Guadalajara, México. I was born and raised here, and I have been passionate about social justice for as long as I can remember.
This is why I started volunteering with It Gets Better México more than two years ago! It Gets Better Mexico is part of the It Gets Better Project’s Global Affiliate Network, and I have been working primarily with a national network of universities creating content, holding brainstorming meetings, and helping each other create more inclusive educational materials for LGBTQ+ young people.
Over the last two years, we have worked with 15 different universities — our efforts will help LGBTQ+ students strengthen their presence in universities, creating opportunities for younger generations. In 2022 we were extremely happy to share our Protocol for Trans and Non Binary Students. This document was made by and for trans and non-binary students, drawing on their experiences and prioritizing their needs, all with the help of It Gets Better México!
We want to keep changing students’ lives — creating content to inspire them, reaching students who might not have resources readily available to them and helping empower LGBTQ+ youth who are in need. Safe and inclusive education is incredibly necessary here in México.
This is why we need your help! Donating to the It Gets Better Project helps us to continue working for the betterment of LGBTQ+ youth and students globally. It helps organizations like It Gets Better Mexico reach students, giving them the opportunity to learn from our resources (and for us to learn from them).
