Lambda Legal is an American non-profit organization focused on legal action in support of LGBTQ individuals.
They have already committed to challenge Trump’s anti-queer executive orders in court.
I am encouraging people here to donate to Lambda Legal if you are able to.
Incentive: The following people have committed to match donations:
If anyone else is willing to match donations as well, please let me know and I will edit this post to include you.
Also, check to see if your employer will match donations.
If you donate, simply comment here or PM me. You do NOT have to provide proof that you donated — just share your amount.
If you would rather donate to a different organization instead, please do so. Also please share it here in case others would like to join you.
To our trans users here, especially those in the US: please remember that there are still SO many people out there who love and support you and want you to be able to live your lives with the dignity that you deserve.
I'm in for $500. Thanks for sharing this fund. I'm sure it won't be the last one I donate to this year.
Wow! Thank you so much, fidwell. You didn’t just hit the entirety of my match in one donation — you doubled it!
Thank you for organizing this @kfwyre, you rock. I would like to add another $1000 to the matching fund!
I rock? You rock. That match is incredible! Thank you so much.
❤️ it looks like my match has been met, if I’m reading the post description right, so here’s my matching donation!
And just like that, our total pretty much DOUBLED!
Thank you SO much, smores. You’re a hero.
Thanks for posting this. I'm in for $50
Much appreciated, post_below.
Sorry for being a downer in the other topic. As a contrast to what I said there: stuff like this does give me hope, so thank you for being part of that.
I get paid Friday so I'll be waiting til then but I love this.
This is a wonderful idea, and I'm in for $50 USD. Thanks for putting this together, and to any others that are willing to match. I'm wishing the best to my neighbours in the South during this difficult time.
Thank you, Wes, for being a great neighbor (and just an awesome person in general). Much appreciated.
How sweet and inspiring! I am in for fifty bucks, too.
I’m glad this was a bright spot for you! Thanks for contributing, clepins, and being a bright spot for me too. 🥰
Thank you for letting me know about this. I’m in for $125 with a 100% employer match for a total of $250.
Fantastic that your employer matches! That’s a great way to double the impact. Thank you very much, Hvv.
I am blown away by the response to this. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated.
As promised, here is my $250 match.
I believe my employer supports a match, so I'll try to post here once I get that confirmed.
Speaking of, check if your employer does a match...
I just did $125 - is anyone still matching?
Nobody's matching right now, but thank you for your generous donation!
You also bumped the topic, so hopefully more people will see this and join in as well.
Thank you! We need to keep these lawyers paid - they have a lot of work to do!
I believe the matching has been met! But I made my donation too so we can keep the chain going.
$25 Recurring for as long as I can
I donated $50 last night.
