We're celebrating some behind the scenes heroes!
Dear John
Back to school season is in full swing. We know that can come with a wide range of emotions. But we think it's important to focus on the folks who are doing incredible things to make it better for LGBTQ+ students — the kids, the teachers, and the projects (in this case, our own) daring people to get creative and dream big!
Join us in celebrating all of the good happening in schools around the country. And consider supporting our work so that the amazing people you're reading about can continue to do this crucial work.
Together, we can continue to make things better.
