Pride Wide: Filling the storytelling gap for LGBTQIA+ equality Pride Wide is a new kind of global non-profit organization, working towards a future of freedom, equality, and visibility for LGBTQIA+ people around the world. What sets us apart? Our focus is on storytelling and engagement. Many LGBTQIA+ changemakers, while effective in policy and legal battles, lack the communication skills to win hearts and minds. This creates an opening for negative narratives to dominate the news media and social platforms. Pride Wide's solution: Compelling stories: We will counter negative narratives by crafting powerful and relatable stories about the LGBTQIA+ community. Global collaboration: Led by a global board, we bring together experts in media, business, charities, and community leadership from around the world. Experienced leadership: Our founders have a proven track record in creating engaging and impactful LGBTQIA+ content through their previous work running the much-missed global website, Gay Star News. How you can get involved: If you'd like to learn more about Pride Wide or contribute to our mission, reach out to us at pridewide@pridewide.org. #LGBTQIA #Equality #Storytelling #PrideWide #NonProfit Scott Nunn Tris Reid-Smith

Did you know that many workplaces match their employee's donations to nonprofits? Sometimes they even match donations if someone from your household gives! This is a free way for you to double or even triple your impact to support It Gets Better. By doubling your donation and impact through a workplace match, you’ll help us connect with LGBTQ+ youth early, building their confidence and self-worth. With 73% of Gen-Zers saying they feel alone some of (or all of) the time, we foster connections and meaningful relationships to help LGBTQ+ youth better navigate the world around them. From funding 140+ student-led, school based grants to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ students around the country to helping the leaders of tomorrow advocate for their peers today through our Youth Voices program, It Gets Better is working toward a future where LGBTQ+ youth are not just surviving but thriving. Unsure if your company has a matching program? Ask HR or your Social Impact Team for the proper forms to complete your match. Questions? Message us! This small task can have a huge impact on LGBTQ+ youth around the globe.

Annual Reminder: June isn’t the time of year to “help lift the LGBT community” by asking LGBT-owned and operated businesses, especially micro-businesses, to work for you for free or at a discount, especially if yours is a Fortune 500 company, a publisher with an annual revenue over $2BB, an internationally recognized LGBT television program or even a non-profit with an annual revenue over, say, $40MM backed by hundreds of Fortune 500 companies.   If you genuinely want to show your support by using LGBT small and micro businesses, whether yours is a corporation or non-profit, and you want to help close the wage gap, pay LGBT entrepreneurs what they're worth.

BREAKING: Republican leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives has proposed cutting non-profit community project funding. Not allowing non-profits to apply for these U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants will create an almost $1 billion shortfall for community programs across the country. Join Equitas Health, Human Service Chamber of Franklin County, The Center for Community Solutions, and others, and tell the US House Committee on Appropriations that these cuts will hurt our communities.

Wishing our Montash, Remobi and Trillion communities a very Happy Pride Month. 🏳️🌈 Here are a few ways you can demonstrate your support during Pride Month and beyond: ❤️ Showcase LGBTQIA+ stories and voices- giving members opportunities to speak for themselves and represent their authentic experiences. 🧡 Share the ways your company is fighting for inclusivity and equality: such as raising donations for LGBTQIA+ charities, volunteering, equality policies and advocating for legislative change. 💛 Empower your employees with resources that educate and celebrate Pride and the wider community. 💚 Create and instigate conversations. Understand the issues. Allies are most supportive when they truly understand the issues that affect the LGBTQIA+ community. 💜 Partner with LGBTQIA+ organisations or influencers both during Pride Month and throughout the year. Pride should not be exclusive to June but an initiative throughout the year. Make it a year-round commitment & ensure your LGBTQIA+ employees feel valued, supported, and included every step of the way. 💪 #PrideMonth #HappyPride #LGBTQ #Community

I’m feeling very proud, yet a little sad. We put our heart and soul into this campaign, and although we understand there have been really big emergencies in the past month to say the least, I was (maybe naively?) hoping for something more. The response to the campaign has been absolutely overwhelming, with so many people sharing, commenting, vouching for us and supporting our mission. I still can’t believe how much we managed to build in so little time with Studio Lutalica, and I’m so incredibly proud of the amazing connections we made along the way. But I’m passionate and ambitious so nothing is ever enough 🥲 and I really want to start helping more organisations, especially the ones that don’t have the budget to spend to reach their audiences in a more accessible way. And what do we need to do more? You guessed it - money 💰 It’s been really hard to prove the impact of our work, but to put it as simple as possible: let’s say we work with an LGBTQ+ homelessness charity. We can’t take credit for the brilliance of the services they offer, of course, but if we build a brand that is credible, they can get more donations to help more people. If we build an accessible website, we can make a difference for service users being able to find the organisation and get support, and potentially even get a bed for the night in case of emergency. As I said many times, we will implement a sustainable structure for pro bono services. But with your help, we can start much sooner. It’s not too late. There are two days left to support our crowdfunding campaign.
