This is sickening in every sense of the word. Who is going to stand up and stand with the real heroes - the people who have everything to lose but still stand for what they believe is right?

The only objective in ending funding is further harassment, intimidation, and ostracism of LGBTQ youth. The Trump administration is attacking the most vulnerable and marginalized Americans … the very people who, incidentally, are least able to push back.
Heartbroken & devastated at Trump administration’s directive to end specialized support for LGBTQ+ youth callers to 988 hotline. This attack will DIRECTLY HARM American children. Youth using hotline are at their lowest point; specialized support is LIFE SAVING.
We stand with the LGBTQ+ community.
