We're heartbroken by the devastating mass shooting at FSU. Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones and the entire community. We don't have to live like this. Students and teachers deserve to feel safe in the classroom, not fearful of senseless gun violence. We must #HonorThemWithAction.

Today is #NYHAAD. In FL, we're fighting to create safe, welcoming schools for LGBTQ+ students. We know that when LGBTQ+ youth are supported at home, in school, and in their communities, their risk of HIV is significantly reduced. Let's end the stigma and build a future where all youth can thrive.
