An open letter by The Trevor Project, signed by over 100 celebrities, urges the U.S. government to maintain $50 million in federal funding for LGBTQ+ youth services under the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. This action follows concerns over a leaked budget proposal that threatened to eliminate critical support for suicide prevention among young LGBTQ+ individuals. Public figures, including Ariana Grande and Daniel Radcliffe, express their responsibility to advocate for mental health resources that are vital for at-risk youth.
We are heartbroken by the proposal to eliminate federal funding for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services - a move that will have devastating, life-threatening consequences for young people across the country.
As artists, creators, and public figures, our platforms come with responsibility. And today, that responsibility is clear: we must speak out to protect the mental health and lives of LGBTQ+ youth.
