#HurricaneMelissa Update 🧵

Hurricane Melissa made landfall in #Jamaica, causing "total devastation" in some areas and severe damage across the island.

We immediately mobilized to help Jamaica's LGBTIQ community, with friends at @linksbridge.bsky.social agreeing to match the first $5K.

⚠️ $5K MATCH FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF ⚠️

#HurricaneMelissa has torn through #Jamaica.

We know that climate-related disasters magnify the existing inequalities that LGBTIQ people face, with many experiencing limited or no access to vital emergency relief.

Far-right groups in the U.S. are trying to get the FBI to classify trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.

This is the authoritarian playbook: turn identities into threats, use “security” as cover, suppress dissent.

Advocacy is not terrorism. 🏳️‍⚧️

Equating Respect for Trans People With Terrorism Is as Dangerous as It Is Absurd
