Give Out Day 2025!
Thursday, June 5
Give OUT Day is a 24-hour period on Thursday, June 5, 2025 when people come together to support LBGTQ+ organizations. It is the only national LGBTQ+ giving event in the U.S. This effort began in 2013 giving non-profits such as the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center the opportunity to raise funds for LGBTQ+ programming. Early giving online for Give OUT Day commences on Wednesday night, May 21st at 11pm with a campaign that will continue through Monday night, June 30th at 11pm. Give OUT is a way to celebrate and contribute during Pride Month.

The visionaries who in 1987 dreamed of the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center included LGBTQ+ issues especially in communities of color. Nonetheless, current political hegemony in Washington and Austin are conspiring to deny civil liberties to many in this country. Since January 20th there have been efforts to destroy the progress that has been made on behalf of LGBTQ+ souls. Myopic politicians fail to recognize that LGBTQ+ rights are actually supported by a majority of their constituents. Your donations are especially requested since only $1 for every $500 donated to non-profits in the U.S. are given for LGBTQ+ causes (Equity Lab 2024 index).
Save the date and remember that Give OUT Day is June 5th! Give to the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center during Pride Month and support our efforts to represent the LGBTQ community in all of our programming year-round.
The Esperanza strives to be true to the words of Harvey Milk who declared: “Hope will never be silent!” Be in solidarity with friends and family who are LBGTQ+ and be Loud and Proud! Make a donation during Pride Month by celebrating Give OUT Day 2025! ¡Todos Somos Esperanza, with Pride!

Se solicita su apoyo ahora en 2025, mas que nunca. Los politicos en Washington, D.C. y en Austin buscan a negar los derechos humanos aunque la mayoría de constituyentes están en favor de toda la comunidad LGBTQ+. Solamente $1 de cada $500 en donaciones se da para las causas de LGBTQ+ cada año. (Equity Lab, 2024 Index)
Adjunto dicho del activista Harvey Milk: “¡La Esperanza nunca se callará!” Durante el mes de Pride alzaremos nuestras vozes con esperanza de obtener la justiciar y libertad. Acuerdense que ¡Todos Somos Esperanza con Orgullo! Y no dejen de donar para el Dia Give OUT!
