Below are resources & action points we can each take to help protect our community. In addition, it is our core mission to have HR for ALL .
First and foremost, the Equality Act is up for debate to be voted on in the Senate. Go to the HRC website for templates on how to initiate a YES on this very important vote.

This is a list of 32 black-owned businesses that focus on assisting the LGBTQ+ community. Become informed with each, donate if able.

What is happening to the children inhumanely detained at the American border is unacceptable. Take action and demand change! Furthermore, we must Abolish ICE.
Donate money to programs that support Native communities (link below for some examples). Learn Native American history and surround yourself with the current, beautiful culture. Be informed on whose stollen land you live on. Amplify indigenous voices, and buy their products! Thank you!

The usage of Christopher Columbus must be removed from all statues, roads, schools, etc. As well as the removal of all confederate soldiers/generals. No more. If you see a petition, please sign!
Several cities across the country have begun to do the work of ending contracts with policing in schools. Children deserve an equal opportunity to education and community, neither of which can happen under the hellacious school-to-prison pipeline. Demand it ends in your neighborhood today. And de-privatize ALL prisons.
Individuals need to always, continuously have autonomy over their own bodies, no excuses. No government agencies, no man, no other individual "opinion" should determine what any person does to and with their own body. Protect womxn's reproductive rights at the link below.
Vote each and every election. You've a voice, utilize it. It is important and it affects your community. Don't think that you have power? Well, letting others use their vote to speak for you certainly is powerless. So vote EVERY election. And go here to PROTECT the vote for all.
