D&D Partners With Mermaids For A Stream In Support Of Transgender Youth
Dungeons & Dragons have partnered with Mermaids for a stream designed to support Transgender youth coming up this Thursday. Check it out.
As part of this year’s #Digipride, an online pride event celebrating LGBTQ+ folk of all shapes, sizes, and identities, Dungeons & Dragons has teamed up with Mermaids, a UK-based organization dedicated to empowering thousands of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse children by providing resources for families and young people. The result of this team up? A brand new streamed campaign which will be broadcast live on D&D’s official Twitch and Youtube channels on August 19th, which is this Thursday.
The broadcast will help raise money for Mermaids, and viewers can donate through the online platform Tiltify. Check it out below!
