Dear PFLAG Supporter,

We’re excited to announce our first Love Votes Week of Action, taking place the week of September 23rd! This initiative will center on voter registration and education. We’ll invite everyone to share on social media what their love is voting for this election and why voting with love is crucial. We will also host volunteer opportunities to leverage your relationships to help get out the vote in your communities and beyond! We will also host our September edition of PFLAG Academy Online, PFLAG Votes 2024: Know Your Rights as a PFLAG Voter, where we’ll delve into voting rights and host a Q&A session with a representative from the League of Women Voters. Stay tuned to next week’s Leadership Matters for more details!

Urban Think Tank Alert

We know urban chapters face specific challenges, so the Urban Think Tank is a peer-to-peer facilitated discussion space for chapter leaders from urban areas across the chapter network. 

August's topic will be growth and expansion in cities. When a PFLAG chapter is thriving and has a lot of capacity, the question becomes "What next? How do we grow?"

Has your chapter added another meeting? Have you set a goal to add social programming? Does your chapter have a Speakers Bureau or other strong educational programming? There are so many ways to grow beyond a monthly support meeting! Whether this is a struggle or a success story for your chapter, come prepared to share and support other urban chapter leaders!

Register now for the Urban Think Tank on October 15th at 4pm PT/9pm ET.

Regional Roundup

As a reminder, in partnership with Promise54, PFLAG is gathering insights to help us determine where we are with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and to develop a plan to ensure that PFLAG is a place where everybody belongs. If you haven’t already, please complete a brief survey by Friday, September 19th, to share your experiences with DEI at PFLAG. All data collected from the survey will be anonymous.

Reminder: Please do not share this survey with your members by email or post it to social media; we will circulate out to all members and supporters of PFLAG, including chapter members.

Thank you for your participation and support in taking this survey! For more information, read the survey FAQ. Have further questions? Contact the Promise54 team!

Stay safe,

Shaun Connors (he/they)
