** Hi Friend,
------------------------------------------------------------

Going back to school can be exciting, but for some it’s anxiety-inducing. For LGBTQ youth in particular, school can be a tricky place to explore who they are, especially if they face harassment, discrimination, or a lack of resources. The current political climate, where anti-transgender legislation is regularly proposed, has made trans young people some of the most vulnerable students.

Let’s be clear: Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in school. Young people spend the majority of their waking hours at school, surrounded by teachers, administrators, and peers. This means we need to foster welcoming and safe environments where they can thrive. Read this resource on how you can create safer spaces in schools.

Even if you aren’t personally familiar with the experiences of LGBTQ youth, the joy and authenticity in young people being fully themselves is undeniable. Thank you for standing with us in making the world a more welcoming place.
