LOS ANGELES — The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has launched its Pride Fundraising Drive to support its efforts on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community.
The announcement follows:
Pride has always been about more than celebration. It has always been about visibility, resistance, and the fight to exist openly in the face of censorship and discrimination.
Today, LGBTQ+ people and adult industry workers are facing renewed attacks online and offline. Across the country, lawmakers are pushing policies that threaten privacy, restrict speech, and make it harder for marginalized communities to safely access financial services and online platforms. LGBTQ+ creators, performers, and educators are often among the first people targeted when platforms crack down on speech.
That’s why the Free Speech Coalition launched this year’s Pride fundraising drive.
Donations of $45 or more may choose a thank-you gift from our limited edition Pride shirts and hats. This money helps fund the work FSC does year-round to defend free speech, challenge harmful legislation, and provide direct support to performers and creators impacted by censorship and financial discrimination.
Funds from this drive support legal challenges to harmful censorship laws, policy advocacy defending free expression and privacy rights, and educational resources for creators and performers navigating platform discrimination and financial shutdowns.
This year’s design reflects the message at the heart of the campaign: Pride is political because our rights are on the line.
The thank-you gifts go into production starting on June 15. Some items have limited availability after that date. Make your donation now: tinyurl.com/prideispolitical
