Take Action for #Pride

This Pride Month, JWI calls on you to stand and fight for our LGBTQ+ community. Numerous states have passed outrageous discriminatory laws which deny trans youth access to crucial gender-affirming care, prohibit honest conversations around gender and sexuality, and bar people from using the restrooms that align with their gender identity. This legislation is deeply harmful to these communities. To save LGBTQ+ lives, we must take action to loudly pushback against bigoted policies.

Take Action Now:

• Tell senators to pass The Equality Act

• Elect LGBTQ+ allies

• Donate to Keshet, The Trevor Project , and other LGBTQ+ non-profits

• Attend a #FaithforPride Event
