John,

This year has been challenging for LGBTQ+ youth across the country. From anti-trans legislation that restricts access to athletics and educational opportunities to curriculum censorship laws, and banning LGBTQ+ books in schools, it’s more crucial than ever to support and affirm LGBTQ+ students in K-12 schools.

Today, we are launching GLSEN Navigator to equip advocates with the information they need to support LGBTQ+ students in every state and territory. Check it out now. [[link removed]]
Based on 20 years of research, we have identified four core supports that promote students’ ability to thrive and reach their full potential:

*Activating supportive educators
* Passing LGBTQ+ affirming policies
* Inclusive curriculum
*Supporting student GSAs

GLSEN Navigator provides advocates with information on policies needed to strengthen these four supports –– including trans athletics, inclusive curricular standards, bullying and harassment prevention, and nondiscrimination laws in each state and territory. It also includes our research state snapshots on the experiences of LGBTQ+ youth in K-12 learning communities.

[[link removed]] Can we count on you to share GLSEN Navigator with other advocates in your state to help defeat these attacks on LGBTQ+ youth? [[link removed]]
Join us in getting even more informed to push back against these denigrating attempts to erase LGBTQ+ and all communities that experience marginalization and promote justice for all in K-12 schools.

In solidarity,
Aaron Ridings (he/they)
Chief of Staff and Deputy Executive Director for Public Policy and Research
