The Trevor Project is in crisis, according to many of the organization’s staffers, so they’ve decided to unionize. In November, CEO Amit Paley was removed by the Trevor Project’s board of directors in response to a letter signed by over 200 employees expressing dissatisfaction with the organization’s rapid scale-up. Paley was replaced by co-founder Peggy Rajski as interim CEO. Trevor has also come under assault from 4chan users clogging the organization’s hotline with fake calls, verbal abuse, and death threats. The Trevor Project receives more than 200,000 calls a year (over 500 a day); runs a social media network called TrevorSpace; and conducts a widely resourced annual survey on youth mental health, the largest of its kind. Now the sum of those services, the turmoil in management, and the outside attacks are taking a toll on the people at the Trevor Project’s frontlines, some 300 paid staff, along with over 700 volunteers.
