Every Child Deserves Safety and Security– Give OUT to COLAGE!
This Pride Month, COLAGE is raising $10,000 to equip children of LGBTQ+ parents with the resources we need to share our stories, educate policymakers, and advocate for ourselves and our families. This week’s Give OUT Day campaign is a big opportunity to create the momentum we need to reach that goal — and we must act quickly.
Right now, politicians and advocacy groups across the country are advancing policies that make it harder for LGBTQ+ people to form families, undermine protections for LGBTQ+ families, and fuel hostility toward LGBTQ+ people in schools and public life.
At the same time, there are opportunities to strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ families and ensure that the voices of COLAGErs are heard. Through advocacy opportunities, COLAGE equips COLAGErs to shape the policies and decisions that affect their lives.
This year, COLAGErs helped advance legislation in Delaware to better protect children by ensuring their relationships to their parents are legally recognized and protected. We are also advocating for safe and welcoming learning environments where children from LGBTQ+ families can thrive, and are working to ensure that all children—including those born through assisted reproduction and donor conception—have clear, stable, and durable pathways to family recognition and protection.
Make your Give OUT gift today and help build a future that ensures COLAGErs grow up in families that are recognized, protected, and supported.
With the generous support of Meredith Fenton + Ains Hill we have a $1,000 matching challenge until June 4th at midnight.
