Hi, I'm (name here) a resident in (enter district and state). I'm calling to show my displeasure with the treatment of the LGBTQIA+ community. As a (list relation to community (member, ally, parent of member) I'm severely disappointed and don't feel represented in this current administration. So I ask that you show your support to all parts of the community in any way possible. (Me and my community/ the LGBTQIA+ community ) deserve to be seen and heard because (we/ they) have always been here and (we/they) will always be here no matter what you do or how you treat (us/ them).

Another way to show support is through donations whether that be financial, material, or even time. All ways of donating can heavily impact those in the community that are in the most need of assistance in these trying times. Finally just showing up for those around you is the best thing a person can do to show support not allowing people in the community to feel like their alone or that no one supports them can save lives.
