Be an ally. Be Kind. We ALL have one thing in common, we are all human beings first. Yet, so many different people continue to experience discrimination for a multitude of reasons. Financial wellness in the LBGTQ+ community face unique challenges and setbacks-- we all deserve to have access to financial products and services in an equitable environment. The 2024 LGBTQ+ Financial Wellness Report's key findings are a rude awakening that there is much work to be done for better financial inclusion. *Roughly half (48.15) of LGBTQ+ adults say they are financially unwell, compared to one-quarter (25.7%) of the general public. Both BIPOC and younger (age 18-24) LGBTQ+ adults are even more likely to say they are financially unwell. *Three in ten (30.8%) LGBTQ+ adults say they have experienced discrimination while accessing financial services *Roughly half (48.15) of LGBTQ+ adults say they are financially unwell, compared to one-quarter (25.7%) of the general public. *Nearly 60% (59.7%) of LGTBQ+ adults have annual household incomes below $75,000. "The data underscore the need for our economic empowerment programs, especially for younger BIPOC LGBTQ+ folks. I hope the data are a call to action for organizations serving our community. Given what we know about who is struggling the most, these organizations have an opportunity to center BIPOC young adults by being culturally responsive, trauma informed, and offering voice and choice to young people.” Maruka Rivers, Director of Economic Empowerment Programs at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation How is your credit union being an ally?

Happy Pride Month, everyone. While there is much to celebrate, it's also important to understand that with visibility often comes more scrutiny, vulnerability, attacks, and even danger. The strides that the LGBTQ+ community has made in just the last decade have been immense, but even in the face of progress, there are still so many disparities and issues that need to be addressed. For example, mental health in the LGBTQ+ community is a major issue. Here are some alarming stats: ➡️ 39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year — including 46% of transgender and nonbinary young people. ➡️ More than 1 in 10 (12%) LGBTQ+ young people attempted suicide in the past year. ➡️ 50% of LGBTQ+ young people who wanted mental health care in the past year were not able to get it. If we want LGBTQ+ youth to grow up living happy and fulfilling lives, we need to make sure they have affirming support systems and access to mental health resources. #PrideMonth #LGBTQYouth #LGBTQMentalHealth
