Happy Pride Month! Here are some quick Do's and Don't for celebrating Pride this June. There is power in businesses participating in Pride Month and it’s important for their employees and consumers to see support for the community during Pride. ✅ DO celebrate pride all year! If your brand doesn’t have a 365 day a year plan for LGTBQIA+ inclusion you need to prioritize that over a one-off pride campaign. ❌ DON'T just post something with rainbows on it and call it a day. now more than ever we need your support as the human rights campaign declares a state of emergency as LGBTQIA+ community are under attack. ✅ DO what you can. Support the queer community, love us, advocate for us, donate $ or time to your local organizations, make your workspace an inclusive safe space. ❌ DON'T be performative. Your actions need to match your words. Here are some LGBTQIA+ nonprofits to donate to/support: The Trevor Project The Marsha P Johnson Institute The Human Rights Campaign National Center for Transgender Equality Lambda Legal #Pridemonth #traversecity #baltimore

It's #GivingTuesday and we need your support to make GLAAD's mission of 100% acceptance of LGBTQ people become a reality. In the past year, we've seen 500+ anti-LGBTQ bills introduced and 700+ acts of anti-LGBTQ extremism. With the 2024 elections coming up and the increase in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on social media and the legislature, we anticipate those numbers increasing and need your support in amplifying our work. Your donation supports: The GLAAD Storytelling Initiative where we use evidence-based media strategies to mobilize even more people around LGBTQ #equality, especially transgender rights and safety. The GLAAD News & Rapid Response Team as it offers real-time crisis communications, trains #LGBTQ people and allies to be effective voices for equality, and works with journalists to cover LGBTQ stories with richness and compassion. The GLAAD Media Guides, which let LGBTQ people lead the conversation, whether it's about growing HIV awareness in the U.S.' Deep South or tracking LGBTQ characters in major motion pictures. The GLAAD Media Institute's Advocacy, Education, and Training team create representation firsts like the GLAAD Gaming Index for LGBTQ #representation in gaming, and the inaugural Black Queer Creative Summit in Los Angeles — and ensure that those firsts aren't the last.

I’m proud to be on the board of InReach, a scrappy and innovative trans-led tech nonprofit whose services are more urgently needed than ever. InReach connects LGBTQ+ people facing persecution or discrimination to safe, verified resources. I hope you'll donate today, for one of these reasons or countless more: ♦In protest of the surge of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and to increase resource access for the diverse LGBTQ+ community.  ♦To connect LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, refugees, and other immigrants to verified, safe legal services, translation and interpretation assistance and language classes, trauma-informed mental health care providers, and more. ♦To support LGBTQ+ young people experiencing homelessness and others facing family or community rejection due to their identity to access safe housing, food and clothing, drop-in centers, affirming spiritual support and other critical resources. ♦To provide a hub for transgender and nonbinary people to lifesaving gender affirming care, support groups, safe housing, gender-neutral restrooms and legal providers with expertise in working with trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer clients. ♦To help other LGBTQ+ people facing persecution and discrimination across the country find verified, affirming support near them. It can be difficult to know how best to respond to the escalating attacks against your LGBTQ+ neighbors, coworkers, friends, and loved ones. InReach is a critical firewall making sure that those in need are able to access real-time resources to survive and thrive. Please donate today:

I am excited about POSSIBLE and meeting Christian Muche and the team. They have been supportive, but it was too late this year to do much in terms of recognizing the erosion of human rights that is going on in Florida this year in a programed way. We have talked about working together for next year. As an aside, someone who is, I think fair to say, an S tier AdTech leader (ask your kids) sent me a lovely note, saying that they were glad that I am raising this issue and my words have had an impact; that they are going to think more about where to hold their events. I could not be happier that I have helped put LGBTQ and Minority rights on their radar. There are a number of LGBTQ folks that will be down at the conference and I hope that they, and folks who are 🌈 allies, will flag me down, ask for a pin (I have 98 left. I sent one to my S tier friend and going to send one home with Adam Heimlich for Ali Manning, whom I promised one) and consider donating to The Trevor Project. I will be in the lobby of the hotel around 3pm, but I will be bopping around. I am looking forward to seeing more of the conference than I usually do. We are going to try to get some folks together for a drink and do some organizing. Let me know if you are interested and I will add you to the group chat. And if you think of it, please do the various things that one can do on Linkedin to improve reach of this post (I am avoiding use of the words. I am wondering if using them reduced reach.) I set up a fund-raising page, below, and will reach out to TTP folks after the conference to see if they are interested in working together. As I have noted, I contribute 10% of the cost of my trips to Florida to TTP. But I would love to have you contribute any amount. I am just thrilled that people think this is an important enough issue to put some cash behind it. https://lnkd.in/eYpkRix5 #possible2024 #lgbtq

At BMJ, we're excited to celebrate Pride Month, and we invite everyone to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community as allies. As allies, it's essential to adopt an open-minded approach and be willing to listen, learn, and educate ourselves. Let's avoid making assumptions about people's sexual orientation or gender identity. Remember, LGBTQ+ individuals don't fit into specific stereotypes, and their partners don't define their sexuality. Being an ally achieves many positive outcomes. It makes individuals feel supported, sends a message of inclusivity, and helps shift our culture towards acceptance. Allies raise awareness, allowing teachable moments that alleviate the burden on LGBTQ+ individuals to constantly educate others. Lastly, being an ally helps create a safe space where people can be their authentic selves without anxieties. Let's stand together and make a difference during Pride Month and beyond. We are also raising funds for the charity mindout to support their vital work. If you'd like to contribute, please consider donating via the link provided: https://lnkd.in/dVwHa-T9 #pridemonth2023 British Medical Association

✴ Since President Bill Clinton declared it in 1999, June has been recognized as #PrideMonth, and more than two decades have passed since then. After several tumultuous years, the 2023 Pride Month #celebration has come back stronger than ever. 🌈 This is also a time when many #beautybrands are launching campaigns to support the #LGBTQcommunity, aiming to improve their brand image and boost sales. Rather than just posting on #socialmedia to show solidarity, many beauty brands are demonstrating their support for the LGBTQ+ community by launching Pride campaigns and donating funds to crucial LGBTQ+ organizations. 👉 Read more: https://bit.ly/43BLeUN #ZitoreVietnam #Zitore #Skincare #drugstore

The LBGTQ+ Index is a new tool that measures charitable giving to U.S. organizations serving the LGBTQ+ community. The index contains 2,773 organizations, featuring the support they receive, focus area, and geographic location. With this information, development professionals and leaders of LGBTQ+ nonprofits can use the database to understand how their organization compares with others, and help build the case for supporting their organizations. The database was released in May by the Equitable Giving Lab at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
