What is the TR Pride Coalition?
TR Pride Coalition, is a student-run organizations that unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities.
TR Pride Coalition has evolved beyond their traditional role to serve as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in middle schools and high schools, and have emerged as vehicles for deep social change related to racial, gender, and educational justice.
What is an Ally?
An ally is a person who is a member of the dominant group who works to end oppression in his or her own personal and professional life by supporting and advocating with the oppressed population.
We encourage all friends and family to become allies against anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) language, bullying and harassment in our schools.
Mission Statement
Through education and advocacy, the TR Pride coalition seeks to make Roosevelt High School a more welcoming, safe, and inclusive campus for LGBTQ+ individuals, a term that includes but is not limited to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer individuals.
