| Hi friend, The federal 988 LGBTQ+ crisis lifeline is no longer operational. Let me say that again: the Trump Administration has shut down one of our most effective suicide prevention tools for LGBTQ+ youth. Since 2022, this specialized lifeline has handled nearly 1.3 million calls, texts, and chats. For many young people, it was the only place they could turn to in a moment of crisis. Its closure is not about policy or cost—it is a political decision with deadly consequences. LGBTQ+ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. And one in twelve calls to the general 988 line came from LGBTQ+ youth. These aren’t just statistics. They are real people—kids with hopes, dreams, and families who love them. I joined a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers and advocates to demand the immediate restoration of this life-saving service. But let’s be clear: the same extremists who pushed for this shutdown will not stop here. They are attacking health care, education, and fundamental rights—and we must be ready to fight back. If you believe every person deserves dignity, support, and care in their most vulnerable moment, I’m asking you to join me. Donate to help us fight back. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Together, we can show the country that compassion will not be silenced—and that our work in Congress is more important than ever. With resolve,
