A majority of workers at The Trevor Project, a widely-praised nonprofit dedicated to preventing suicide among LGBTQ youth, decided to come together this spring and unionize as Friends of Trevor United. About a month later, they celebrated when management at the nonprofit agreed to voluntarily recognize their union.

For Trevor staff, their union is the best way to support LGBTQ youth. ​“We all come to this work with so much passion for the mission to end suicide among LGBTQ young people,” says Turzillo. ​“We want to have the resources and the support to do our jobs well.”
