Thirty percent of books banned have LGBTQ+ characters or themes — life-affirming books vital to the mental and physical well being of our LGBTQ+ youth.
With these needs in mind, We Need Diverse Books is proud to launch Read with Pride, a campaign to support the LGBTQ+ community. Will you consider making a gift to We Need Diverse Books today?
Donations to the Read with Pride campaign will allow us to provide grants, books, and resources to the LGBTQ+ writing community along with the young readers who desperately need their books:
WNDB will launch our new Rainbow Workshop to provide mentorships, critiques, and community to aspiring LGBTQ+ writers — because we need their stories more than ever.
We will reopen our Emergency Grants to give financial support to LGBTQIA+ creators in need, helping to cover rent, medical bills, and more.
We will send diverse books where they are most needed through our second round of Books Save Lives Grants, prioritizing donations to dedicated safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, including community groups, student organizations, and transitional housing for queer youth.
