Dear friend and member,
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to stand with Qnotes as we continue championing the LGBTQ+ community across Charlotte and the Carolinas. Your support empowers us to deliver the timely, essential news that informs, inspires, and uplifts.
In 2024, we’ve tackled critical stories that highlight the strength and resilience of our community:
- Empowering Voters: Through our QnotesDemocracy series, we provided a comprehensive voter guide, in-depth election analysis, and investigative reporting on the Mark Robinson scandal.
- Exposing Hate: We brought attention to a surge in post-election hateful attacks targeting LGBTQ+, Hispanic, and Black individuals, prompting an FBI investigation.
- Advancing Awareness: On World AIDS Day, we amplified mental health conversations by sharing powerful personal stories of coming out and living with HIV.
- Celebrating Creativity: Our arts coverage shined a spotlight on holiday events like the One Voice Chorus holiday concert and the reopening of Asheville’s Day Trip bar.
- Uplifting Voices: Through our biweekly Our People feature, we celebrated the achievements and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals across our neighborhoods.
Your support makes all of this possible. This Giving Tuesday, your donation will help us continue to amplify voices, advocate for justice, and build a stronger, more informed community.
Make Your Giving Tuesday Gift Today!
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. With your help, Qnotes can remain a vital resource for news, advocacy, and connection for LGBTQ+ individuals across the Carolinas.
Together, we can ensure that our community’s stories are told and that we are equipped to face the challenges ahead with strength and unity.
Thank you for your generosity and belief in the power of local journalism.
With gratitude,
Jim
