Tonight, we're proud to join with @equalityfl & #LGBTQ advocates from across the country for a virtual #BlackLivesMatter Town Hall – for an important discussion on how LGBTQ people can band together to combat racial violence. Tune in live tonight at 6ET: bit.ly/2XuTBle

"Accountability and partnership is built into good allyship work — ensuring the action you are taking has not only been vetted by the community you are serving, but that it also works in concert with the work they are already doing." refinery29.com/en-us/2020/05…

A great resource for anyone looking to broaden their understanding of anti-racism and get involved to combat racism, specifically as it relates to anti-Blackness and police violence: tinyurl.com/antiracistresour…. Thanks to @victoriaalxndr for putting this together.

"This moment requires that we go further — that we make explicit commitments to embrace anti racism & end white supremacy, not as necessary corollaries to our mission, but as integral to the objective of full equality for #LGBTQ people.” bit.ly/3eBo8Ua #BlackLivesMatter

Here’s exactly what’s happening today:
The Supreme Court is being asked to make it legal to fire someone because we’re LGBTQ.
We're representing Aimee Stephens, Don Zarda — and anyone who's ever been told you're not the right "kind" of man or woman.

#PrideMonth: Today we celebrate @CTKidGovernor Ella Briggs, who is working very hard to address #LGBTQ youth homelessness, training teachers on how to work with LGBTQ students, creating youth programs for LGBTQ Youth and their families, & LGBTQ youth safety across #Connecticut!

In 2019 - we shouldn’t see states with NO data on LGBTQ hate crimes. The lack of routine documentation of anti-LGBTQ hate crimes is unacceptable. Proud to cosponsor the #LGBTQEssentialDataAct to end the silence. #LGBTQEssentialDataAct

Throughout #PrideMonth, I'll be sharing organizations that ensure the safety and well-being of LGBTQ people.
Today’s organization is @glsen. They do amazing work to end discrimination, bullying, and harassment based on sexual orientation, gender… bit.ly/2XoVQo0
