On Day 2 of the 12 Days of Giving, we reflect on how crucial your support has been for #LGBTQ+ youth, many of whom experience pervasive school bullying and rejection. Our CAST (Coping and Support Training) program assists youth in four skill areas: Building Self-Esteem, Setting Goals and Monitoring Decision Making, Personal Control: managing moods, drug use and school smarts. With your thoughtful donation today, we can work towards a future where LGBTQ+ youth can access a safe and bully-free learning environment in every #LehighValley school. The future starts today with your donation at https://lnkd.in/gJUy3rNg Hashtags: #LGBTQ #LehighValley #12DaysofGiving #nonprofit #donate #giveback #givingback #community #fundraising #giving #donations #makeadifference #DonateForChange #communityunity #supportLGBTQ #communitysupport [Image description: “Celebrating Queer Joy” sits top center, the text underlined with the colors of the Progressive Pride flag. There’s an illustration of two hands high-fiving and a text/speech bubble filled with three hearts. Reason #2 to give is at the center of the graphic. A checkered bar of blue and pink squares sits at the bottom, with hearts, “love wins” flags, hands holding, a clipboard, and a bandage illustrated. The Bradbury-Sullivan Center logo is in the right corner.]

🌈 I am queer. And I don’t like Pride Month 😮💨 I’ll be honest — I have complicated feelings about Pride right now. We have an entire month to celebrate our existence thanks to Black and Brown, Queer and Trans people who riot made it possible for us to get our rights — rights that are still being challenged today everywhere in the world. Pride started as a riot, it should be about resistance and community. But instead, I/we need to work so much harder than any other month because this is the only month our voices get tolerated — and on top of that, corporations use them to make a (huge) profit. 💔 It is draining. This is why at Lutalica, I’m not pushing our comms team to make as much noise as we could during Pride Month. We work for the LGBTQ+ community all year round, and I don’t want my colleagues to feel overwhelmed because this is the only time of the year when straight people acknowledge us. 💪 We want to keep working for the community, providing free support to non-profits who struggle to raise funds for an inclusive brand or an accessible website. These things are not only important, they are crucial, and I will keep shouting this to whoever will listen. I wish we could have started our crowdfunding earlier than Pride Month. We could have done it later, but July and August are holiday months, in September people have no money post-holiday, and then it’s basically Christmas. So here we are — and honestly, it’s not going as well as we hoped because we’re being drowned out by voices that only speak up in the month of June. But we still need your support. 👉 Please watch the video in this post where I explain why this is important. Check out the testimonials we’ve been posting — they are proof that our work is necessary. And then, please reshare and donate to our crowdfunding campaign here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U ✨ Help us design a brighter future for women and queer communities. #QueerAndProud #LGBTQSupport #PurposeOverProfit #Crowdfunding #InclusiveDesign #CommunitySupport #DesignForChange #HappyPride #PrideMonth I'm curious about what other trans and queer entrepreneurs/professionals think.
