Alex serves as the executive sponsor for the LGBT+ employee resource group which participated in 21 Pride marches worldwide this year. He also, on behalf of Facebook, accepted The Trevor Project’s 20/20 Visionary Award, an honor that goes to a corporation that publicly supports the LGBT+ community and works to advance an empowering message for LGBT+ young people and allies nationwide. In June, Alex and his team worked to release several ways to show Pride on Facebook globally, such as updating your profile picture with a rainbow frame, reacting with a limited-time Rainbow Reaction, using new camera masks and frames, and fundraising for an LGBT+ non-profit. Externally, Alex supports the Human Rights Campaign and Trevor Project and was the first international mentor on the OUTstanding mentoring program, which he continues to participate in.
