Heather Matarzzo wants to Give Hope to gay teens

by
Trish Bendix

Levi Strauss is working with New York City's Hetrick-Martin Institute to support LGBT youth in their GiveThemHope campaign. Lesbian actress Heather Matarazzo is in their new PSA, speaking out about why it's important that gay teens have a place they can go to be themselves.

So far, the campaign has raised $100,000 in donations to keep services available in NYC, but they aim to reach $500,000. Check out their latest PSA and consider donating.

For more on the campaign, visit www.givethemhopenow.org.
