Hi everyone! My name is Julia Dougherty (they/them). I am beginning a fundraiser to help support our local LGBTQ community in this time of need by donating to Equality Florida Institute, Inc. (more information on them below). If you have the means to please donate and/or share this fundraiser with your community, anything you can provide helps and is greatly appreciated!

Equality Florida Institute, Inc.

Through education, grassroots organizing, coalition building, and lobbying, we are changing Florida so that no one suffers harassment or discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Our organizational objectives are clear: passing local LGBTQ protections at the municipal level, passing a statewide non-discrimination law, passing a statewide anti-bullying law, passing legislation to protect the transgender community, and changing public opinion in the state of Florida regarding LGBT individuals and families.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.
