WE WILL NOT BE ERASED
Alarming new federal and state policies in much of the U.S. are focused on removing LGBTQ+ people and their forebears from government databases, schools, the military, libraries, and the workplace. The ONLY way to effectively counter this unprecedented campaign of erasure is to relentlessly promote the achievements and contributions LGBTQ+ people have been making to society throughout history. Our social media campaign not only celebrates these extraordinary individual achievements - it also focuses on the HEADLINES each of us is reading EVERY DAY. We urgently need your assistance to expand the reach of the We Will Not be Erased campaign beyond business-as-usual through high-visibility paid/targeted placement.
