Repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

Target: U.S. Senate        
Sponsored by: Human Rights Campaign

The U.S. has never had this much momentum to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” — the discriminatory law that forces gays and lesbians to live a lie if they want to serve their country.

But there’s a big problem. As the Senate prepares for a make-or-break vote, Sen. John McCain and his friends in radical right-wing groups are putting enormous pressure on your senators to vote against equality.

McCain’s anti-gay vendetta is so desperate that he’s announced he will help block the Senate from repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and the right-wing Family Research Council is making outlandish and bogus claims that repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will increase sexual assault in the military and “undermine the religious liberties” of military chaplains.

We need your help to drown them out and show the Senate that a majority of Americans want this law off the books — once and for all.

National LGBTQI Young Adult Tobacco Needs Assessment

NYAC (National Youth Advocacy Coalition)  is happy to announce that the LGBTQI Young Adult Tobacco Needs Assessment survey tool is ready! After the tireless attention of the Tobacco Working Group over the past few months, we have designed a survey and process that we think (and hope) will be very useful in collecting information about behaviors, attitudes, and facts about how LGBTQI young adults are or are not using tobacco products.

Not only will we be able to make programmatic and policy recommendations for the nation, but we anticipate being able to make cross-regional comparisons and make specific regional statistics available to your organizations. In exchange for supporting and promoting this survey initiative, NYAC will donate $125 to the first 50 organizations that sign up to participate.

Each young adult who completes a survey will be entered into a rolling drawing to win one of the following Gift Cards – 10 cards worth $50, 5 cards worth $100, and 1 card worth $150.
