We’re excited to announce that our annual Day of Silence is on April 14th!
This year's Day of Silence theme, Rising Up, is a call to push back against the silencing of LGBTQ+ youth and the erasure of their experiences. |
This year, we are refreshing Day of Silence to reflect the collective actions needed in this moment. We recognize that we don’t all share the same experiences or risks, and we are committed to building the power together to ensure schools are safe and affirming for LGBTQ+ and all students.
There are three ways to participate in this year’s day of action: - Students can take a vow of silence to demonstrate how so many LGBTQ+ students are made to feel everyday– silenced.
-
Students (who feel safe) and adults can take a vow of NO silence, committing to speaking up in defense of LGBTQ+ youth in every classroom, every office, every space on- and offline.
- Educators, allies, students, advocates, and legislators across the country can sign the Rise Up for LGBTQ+ Youth pledge .
We encourage you to participate in school with your GSA, supportive educators, and peers.
