Dear Friends and Allies,

Recently, our community has faced unprecedented threats. From the protest at Drag Teen Bingo to the theft of our Pride flag, and most alarmingly, the bomb threat related to Drag Story Hour, these acts of hate and intimidation only strengthen our resolve to stand up for love, acceptance, and equality. Out Montclair has been at the forefront of advocating for the LGBTQ+ community in Montclair, creating safe spaces, and promoting inclusivity. But we can't do it alone. We need your support now more than ever to ensure that we can react quickly, advocate effectively, and continue our mission to make Montclair a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Why We Need Your Support:

Emergency Response: Help us mobilize quickly in response to threats and acts of hate. Your donation ensures we have the resources to organize peaceful protests, provide support to affected individuals, and enhance security measures at our events.
Advocacy and Awareness: With your help, we can amplify our advocacy efforts, engaging with local authorities and community leaders to promote policies that protect and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
Community Events: Your contribution allows us to continue hosting events like Drag Teen Bingo and Drag Story Hour, which celebrate diversity and provide a platform for expression and acceptance.
Support Services: Donations enable us to offer vital services such as counseling, legal assistance, and emergency support to those affected by hate crimes and discrimination.

How You Can Help:

Donate Today: Every dollar makes a difference.
Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. The more people we reach, the stronger our collective voice

Together, We Can Make a Difference
