Lena Dunham to Match Donations to Detroit's Ruth Ellis Center After Trump's Transgender Ruling
After Donald Trump announced he removed the guidelines that allowed transgender students to use the bathroom in school that matches their gender identity, stars began speaking out in support of trans students.
Now, Lena Dunham has announced she will match donations up to $50,000 to the Ruth Ellis Center in Detroit, Michigan. The center’s mission statement is “to provide short-term and long-term residential safe space and support services for runaway, homeless, and at-risk lesbian, gay, bi-attractional, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.”
