X-TRA – Fighting the Fight

Sometimes when the world’s a trash fire, it’s hard to figure out where to start. We talk activism, figuring out how you can help, and what we’re doing to fight back against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in Florida.
Click through here to find out more about our campaign to raise funds for Equality Florida!
Help Us Support Queer and Trans Youth!
On Monday, March 28, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB1557–the notorious “don’t say gay” bill–into law. This bill is part of an unprecedented wave of legislation targeting queer and trans youth, with potentially deadly consequences.
Florida may be America’s favorite trash fire, but we’re not willing to give up on our home state; and we’re DEFINITELY not willing to give up on the queer and trans kids who live there.
So we’re fighting back.
All April, we’ll be raising money for Equality Florida. Between our own contributions and the generous support of anonymous donors, we’re in a position to match up to $6000 of your contributions AND offer some very cool prizes.
HERE’S WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO:
- Make a donation to Equality Florida and email the receipt to [email protected] with the subject line EQUALITY or tweet it to @xplainthexmen.
AND HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL GET:
- IF YOU DONATE UNDER $25 – You’ll have our eternal love and gratitude, as well as the warm, fuzzy feeling of making a difference.
- IF YOU DONATE $25 OR MORE – We’ll thank you on the podcast. (Note: these’ll be straightforward thanks, not the silly kind we do for patrons.)
- IF YOU DONATE $50 OR MORE – Miles, who is adamantly Not an Artist, will draw you an earnest and possibly terrible social media X-avatar.
- IF YOU DONATE $100 OR MORE – We’ll record a custom voicemail greeting for you.
- IF YOU DONATE $200 OR MORE – Jay will knit you a hat.
- IF YOU DONATE $500 OR MORE – We’ll record a Hawk Talk on a subject of your choice.
Thank you, so much, for fighting with us. <3
