I’m writing to urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan 988 LGBTQ+ Youth Access Act, introduced by Senators Baldwin and Murkowski. This critical legislation would re-establish dedicated suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ youth through the 988 lifeline—an essential step toward addressing the mental health crisis disproportionately affecting queer and trans young people. LGBTQ+ youth deserve affirming, accessible, and specialized support in moments of crisis. The 988 system must reflect that reality. I expect your leadership in co-sponsoring this bill and ensuring its swift passage. Lives are at stake. Please act now.
