It isn’t always easy to be LBGTQ and tobacco-free. This is why the teens of the FACT Movement continue to step up, raise awareness, and spread the truth about tobacco!
FACT is Wisconsin’s youth tobacco prevention program. It’s managed by the American Lung Association and coordinated locally by the City of Milwaukee Tobacco-Free Alliance. Our Glee Club and FACT group at Alliance High School is working hard to educate our community about tobacco-related health inequity by conducting activities called FACTivisms. For example, our group did the cigarette butt clean-up at Milwaukee PrideFest. Within five minutes into the clean-up, we had three full bags of discarded cigarette butts. This is proof that cigarette addiction is prevalent in the LGBTQ community.
Our goal is to educate our community so everyone has an opportunity to live a healthy life, free of tobacco-related illness. Want to learn more about FACT? Just visit FACTmovement.org and learn about all the cool things we do!
