The June 12 action, for instance, is to attend a Pulse remembrance event in your community or watch one online. The daily action on June 16 is to contact your member of Congress and demand they sign on to the Disarm Hate Act.
"We must ensure the lasting memorial is the real change of uprooting anti-LGBTQ hatred, discrimination, and violence in our culture," the campaign website reads.
The campaign was started on June 12, the one year mark of the Pulse Nightclub shooting that took place on Latin night. A single gunman murdered LGBTQ Latinx people almost exclusively in the horrific shooting, which is recognized as the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.
The effort is already being supported major nonprofits working with the LGBTQ community, including GLAAD, GLSEN, Lambda Legal, Human Rights Campaign, National Center for Transgender Equality, National LGBTQ Task Force, and SAGE. These partner organizations not only are tweeting their support under the hashtag, but are also pledging to take part in the 49 days of action.

Examples given by the campaign including coming out to family, questioning workplace and school policies toward LGBTQ people, and volunteering with queer-focused organizations.
Through this dedicated action, the queer community is moving forward with resilience to honor those taken one year ago. It's another vital step toward continued healing.
