Leadership News at InReach

✨ Leadership News at InReach ✨

We’re proud to announce that Shannon Baker (they/them) will become InReach’s new Managing Director, effective May 12, 2025. They succeed our Co-Founder and inaugural Executive Director, Jamie Sgarro (he/him), who is stepping down after 10 years of transformative leadership.

Shannon first connected with InReach as a user—and still relies on the free InReach App to find verified resources for their family in a state facing growing attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. For the past 3 years, they’ve led our Community Outreach & Programs with care, dedication, and lived experience.

💬 “InReach is uniquely poised to meet this moment of rising need with an innovative, scalable tool that’s built by and for the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we can transform solidarity into action.” – Shannon

💬 “I will always be grateful for this organization. It was through my involvement with InReach that I found the strength to live freely in my own life. During my transition, I relied on the InReach App to access affirming support—and I experienced firsthand the life-saving potential of this platform to help LGBTQ+ people step into the next stage of their lives. I’m thankful to everyone who has made InReach’s work possible. I’ve also had the opportunity to work closely with Shannon, whose journey from InReach user to staff member and now Managing Director speaks to their deep commitment to our mission. I’m proud to welcome them into this role and look forward to continuing to support InReach as a founder and board member." – Jamie

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services j

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services just released a report promoting “exploratory therapy” as an alternative to gender-affirming care—a dangerous move that disregards decades of research and the lived experiences of trans people.

Let’s be clear: gender-affirming care is mental health care. Trans youth don’t need to be “explored”—they need to be affirmed, supported, and protected.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans youth deserve to grow up.
📣 That’s why we’re uplifting #TransMascFutures, a national digital campaign featuring 100+ stories from a diverse cohort of trans men and trans masc adults from every region of the U.S. who are living full, joyful lives.

Explore and share the campaign: https://transmascfutures.inreach.org

💚 We’re not going anywhere.

100 Days In: Where We Stand It’s been 100

📣 100 Days In: Where We Stand

It’s been 100 days since the new administration took office—and the threats to LGBTQ+ lives are mounting.

In just 100 days, we’ve seen:
⚠️ 850+ anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced across 49 states
⚠️ Renewed attacks on gender-affirming care
⚠️ Increased targeting of immigrant communities
⚠️ Ongoing threats to abortion access and healthcare
⚠️ Escalating attacks on DEI initiatives

At InReach, we’re meeting this moment with action:
✅ Thousands more LGBTQ+ people used our free platform to find safe, verified help
✅ Recruited 30+ new Resource Volunteers to expand the world’s first open source verified LGBTQ+ resource platform
✅ Interns contributed 180+ hours to improve language access on the platform
✅ Onboarded new Young Professionals Board members to strengthen our engineering, community outreach, and translation work

InReach is still here—for anyone seeking verified LGBTQ+ resources. 💚

🌈 Whether you're searching for gender-affirming care, legal help, housing, mental health support, or community, you deserve to know where it’s safe to go.

We’ll keep showing up—every day, in every state—until every LGBTQ+ person can access the life-saving support they need. 💚
