Thanks to generous donor support, Mama Dragons showed up with love, visibility, and fierce affirmation at Pride celebrations across the country this year. Our volunteers and staff connected with thousands of families, offered resources to parents seeking guidance, and created joyful, welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ youth—especially our transgender children who need solidarity now more than ever. And we’re not stopping there. We’ve already begun planning for expanded Pride engagement in 2026, ensuring that more cities, more regions, and more families feel our presence and support.
But our work extends far beyond Pride. Mama Dragons is hosting film screenings, partnering in community events, and participating in activations that advance LGBTQ+ equality and awareness year-round. We are doubling down on our support for transgender youth, and in the year ahead you will see Mama Dragons showing up at more rallies, more community conversations, and more decision-making spaces where policies and narratives are shaped. Every connection we make helps change hearts and minds—and every appearance ensures families know they are not alone.
Your support makes this visibility possible. With your continued partnership, we will keep showing up, speaking up, and standing proudly beside every LGBTQ+ child and every mother fighting to protect them.
