We are days into an administration that is working overtime, using ugly language to demean the values we hold dear, and taking actions to harm our loved ones and neighbors. Yet our LGBTQ+ community is strong, our stories are powerful, and our love is louder.
Here are some things you can do, right now, to take positive action to strengthen rights for LGBTQ+ people and others in your community:
- Contact your state legislators and tell them to respect trans kids. Regardless of where you live, this message is important for legislators to hear.
- Start attending your school and library board meetings to tell your local officials that their priority should be creating safe and inclusive school environments for all.
- Watch “Advocacy at All Levels: Making Your PFLAG Voice Heard.” PFLAG National’s most recent PFLAG Academy Online training will teach you the ins and outs of the legislative process and how you can make a difference.
- Sign up for your local state equality group newsletters to stay up to date on what’s happening in your state.
