It’s Harvey Milk Day! Every year, on May 22, w It’s Harvey Milk Day! Every year, on May 22, we honor the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician in California and a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement. (He was born 5/22/1930.) Time magazine included Harvey Milk on a list titled “The 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.” Milk was not only an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community but for all minorities.

Did you know LGBTQ+ youth are 4 times more likely Did you know LGBTQ+ youth are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide? Unfortunately, suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged 10 to 24 (Hedegaard, Curtin, & Warner, 2018) — and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth are at significantly increased risk. (Statistics thanks to @trevorproject) As alarming as the facts are, equally as powerful, is the difference that an ally can make. We are using mental health awareness month to share the value of being an affirming, safe person for youth in your community. Be an ally - save a life. Here's one thing to get you started: Put pronouns in your email signature, social media profile, and zoom window. #mentalhealthawareness #support #bigfeelings #lgbtq #pride #lgbtinclusion #diversity #beyou #bornthisway #beanally
