April 2oth is upon us and that means it’s Give OUT Day, billed as the national day of giving for the LGBTQ community.
The 24-hour-long online fundraising event seeks to unite the LGBTQ community across America, by raising critically needed funds to support hundreds of nonprofits serving and advocating for our causes for civil rights and equality, against a backdrop of threats, lies and half promises from the Trump administration and Republican-led state legislatures.
At press time, more than $218,000 has been raised with a little more than ten hours remaining.
