Should we prioritize legal defense funds or mutual aid?
Legal Defense Fund โ OK
$14k / $20kRelocation Fund โ TX Teens
$45k / $50kFlorida HRT Access Program
$3k / $10kAppalachia Trans Support
$8k / $15kWhen my state passed the healthcare ban, I didn't know where to turn. Finding this community saved me. The mutual aid fund helped me relocate before the law took effect.
As a teacher, I used the advocacy toolkit to write dozens of letters to my representatives. Three other teachers in my district joined me. Small actions compound.
The glossary helped me finally explain to my parents what non-binary means. They're still learning, but PFLAG gave them a community too.

Tools for identifying misinformation about LGBTQ+ issues.
Check the Source
Look for articles from established news outlets, legal organizations (ACLU, Lambda Legal), or official government documents.
Watch for Dog Whistles
Phrases like 'parental rights,' 'protecting children,' and 'biological reality' often frame anti-LGBTQ+ legislation as benign.
Verify Statistics
Always check if cited numbers come from peer-reviewed research. The Williams Institute, MAP, and HRC provide reliable LGBTQ+ data.
Recognize Moral Panic Framing
Media that disproportionately focuses on edge cases or sensationalizes trans youth healthcare may be engaging in moral panic.
Cross-Reference Claims
If a story makes bold claims, check it against Trans Legislation Tracker, ACLU updates, or Snopes for fact-checking.
