Advocacy

RESOURCES & ACTION

We need your help! Make a difference for LGBTQ youth by supporting laws that increase awareness about suicide prevention, provide resources for those in crisis, and create a safe and welcoming environment for all young people.

Check out these resources and help The Trevor Project improve the lives of LGBTQ youth. Use the model polices and legislation, sample letters to lawmakers, summaries of the issues we focus on, and information about our public policy agenda to advocate for life-saving change in your state and community.

Need help taking action? You’re not alone. If you have any questions about these resources or would like more information, please contact Alison Gill, Government Affairs Director at Alison.Gill@TheTrevorProject.org.
