Pride Against Censorship Toolkit 2026

What’s happening?

Fight for the Future is a queer and trans led organization made up of activists, tech policy nerds, artists and technologists who are working to defend the Internet. We’ve been laser focused on fighting online censorship and surveillance legislation that the authors of Project 2025, their allies and other fascists are pushing in order to erase queer and trans people from public life.

We know it’s a dangerous and scary time for so many marginalized people in the U.S. right now. The LGBTQ+ community in particular is in danger of losing online community, safe spaces and resources that are essential lifelines, especially youth.

See the resources section below to read more.

What’s our ask?

Most groups raise the bulk of their funding in the last month of the year. We’ve had to throw down hard against an onslaught of censorship efforts this spring, and critical funding is drying up. The stakes are much too high— this work can’t wait till December.

This Pride Month, we’re asking our supporters to help fund the fight against censorship year-round by helping us raise $15,000 and welcome 30 new monthly sustainers.

Our ask is that our trusted friends and supporters not only chip in with what they can but also help us amplify our Pride 2026 donation page, using this toolkit to help us get the word out!

What to do:

🗣️Use your voice: take to social media to help bring attention to our organization and the work we’re doing to save critical resources for the LGTBQ+ community. Don’t worry—we’ve got sample scripts below!

Sample 2: 😳There’s a lot of concerning legislation currently on the move that will impact our freedom to use platforms like this to talk about LGBTQ+ resources, reproductive health, and queer life experiences.

If these bills get passed, they will enable censorship of content that conservative politicians disagree with and create barriers for vulnerable people to be able to use the internet.

  • Sample 2: I am (queer/trans/a member of the LGTBQ community) and this Pride, I’m thinking about the countless people fleeing their homes in fear of bigotry and violence, about queer and trans youth living in unsupportive households, and about what would happen to these people if they couldn’t find healthcare, housing or peer support online.

  • Sample 3: As someone who has worked in (issue) advocacy for (x years), I know how important it is to have hope to fuel the fight against unjust and brutal systems of oppression. This Pride, as so many take to the streets to celebrate their freedom and their identity despite the onslaught of fascist threats and violence happening across the country, what’s giving me hope is organizations like Fight for the Future, who are beating back very real and present threats of erasure LGTBQ+ communities are experiencing today. Information and education are powerful tools for hope that we need to stoke the flames of resistance and fight for a better future. Please join me in showing them some support! fftf.link/pride2026

    • ‘Protect the kids’ has been a dog whistle for censoring LGTBQ people for decades. We’ve seen in with ‘don’t say gay bills’, book bans, drag bans, and now, on the Internet. That’s why I’m helping to fund the fight against censorship with Fight for the Future, a queer and trans led org fighting online censorship and surveillance legislation that fascists like the authors of Project 2025 are pushing in order to erase queer and trans people from public life. Whatever capacity you have to give, whether it’s $5 for a cup of coffee or $50 (which will get you some rad merch), every cent will help fuel the resistance to these awful bills that are targeting the LGTBQ community.
