New Truth Initiative Study Finds JUUL Use Doubled in One Year
"Increases in youth e-cigarette use, and vaping overall, are no surprise as we continue to learn more about how the tobacco industry, especially e-cigarette maker JUUL, targeted youth and society’s most vulnerable with clever marketing campaigns, a highly addictive formula and youth-appealing flavors.”
#WeBreathe
The percentage of teens and young adults aged 15-34 who have ever used JUUL more than doubled between 2018 and 2019, according to a new study published in JAMA Pediatrics.

Perspective | Anti-LGBT discrimination has a huge human toll. Research proves it.
"As these matters are litigated in courts and in the court of public opinion, let us remember the human toll that discrimination inflicts. As a society, we know how to dramatically reduce this suffering if we only have the will to do it." https://wapo.st/2sWGgWl
We studied more than 300 peer-reviewed articles. They help show just how much harm discrimination can do.

Please help spread the word. This is Kaydian Shipley. He is missing in Camarillo,CA. He is legally BLIND and transgender. Please please share and spread the word. We are in need of help finding him!
Hello LGBTQ community!!! I need your help!! I am a student in college and currently I am doing a case study on Evan Minton. He is from the Bay Area California. Just recently he was trying to get a hysterectomy at a Catholic Hospital. The hospital declined his surgery after the appointment had been made. They supposedly didn't notice what kind of surgery it was until a couple days before hand and canceled the procedure. The Catholic Church do not allow such procedures at their hospital because it is against their beliefs.
Do you believe Evan Minton should of gotten the surgery?
Do you feel that it was right for the hospital to decline because it was against their religious beliefs?
How do you feel like it should of been handle?
Have you had any experiences alike to Evan Minton?
Thank you so much for your time!! Hope you have a beautiful day :)
