Dear John,

With the upcoming election, the stakes have never been higher. Education is the cornerstone of our democracy, and without it, we fail our youth and their future.

As our society hangs in the balance, with leadership changes and campaigns rooted in hate, we must focus on our most vulnerable population: LGBTQ+ youth. They may not have the power to vote, but they bear the brunt of hateful rhetoric and discriminatory policies.

Our small, dedicated team is working relentlessly to combat these injustices. 

Here are just a few recent battles we've been fighting:

1. Defending LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Title IX against those in Congress and the states who want to strip legal protections from LGBTQ+ students
2. Calling Out Anti-LGBTQ+ State Legislation across the country that imposes discriminatory policies in school settings
3. Exposing Elon Musk's Transphobic Misinformation Campaign and holding him accountable
4. Countering Book Bans by working with states to implement standards that preserve access to diverse collections in school libraries, including books that feature LGBTQ+ characters or voices

Beyond policy battles, we’re training educators, empowering students, and combating book bans by providing free LGBTQ-inclusive books to schools nationwide.

We can’t do this without you. Donate to GLSEN today, and your contribution will be doubled* thanks to our long-time partner, Hollister.

The time is now. Join us in creating a safer, more inclusive future for all students.

Thank you for your support.
