ALL STUDENTS DESERVe SAFE AND AFFIRMING SCHOOLS

Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth

True learning only happens when students feel supported and celebrated in the classroom and when everyone in the school community can be their authentic selves -no matter their race, immigration status, sexual orientation or gender identities.

Educators, parents, students and communities are uniting across race, genders and place to demand safe and affirming schools where all our students can learn, grow and thrive.  Our LGBTQ+ students need us to ensure our schools are places where all students are protected and empowered
