Spring has sprung, and with it comes a burst of excitement as we gear up for a month full of empowering events and initiatives.
DAY OF (NO) SILENCE
📅 Mark your calendars for next Friday, April 12th, as we come together for our Day of (No) Silence!
This year we are changing things up as we urge everyone NOT to remain silent. LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly youth, have been silenced for far too long. It's time to raise your voice and take action!
🖊️ Calling all young LGBTQ+ poets and writers! The Rainbow Writes Award is back, and this year's theme is Pride! Combat censorship and submit your work by May 1st for a chance to win $500 and be featured in GLSEN's publications. Visit GLSEN.org/RainbowWrites for more info!

GLSEN CHAPTER HIGHLIGHT
Let's shine a spotlight on GLSEN New Mexico for their incredible work hosting the TQA (Trans, Queer, Ally) Pride Youth + Educator Summit! The summit brought together over 100 youth and educators to learn, grow, and be in community. The annual intergenerational event centers queer joy and this year centered the theme RISE UP. SPEAK UP. ACT UP.
