Had a great time talking to the ~20 students @MT_Timberwolves GSA Club today about advocacy! Thanks for sharing your space and enthusiasm with me! Love that @olatheschools support their #lgbtq students and allies! 🏳️🌈 @GLSENPolicy #useyourvoice #middleschoolersrock – at Olathe, KS

Today, at the @KYC_egv I announced the introduction of my bill, the #STOPBullying Act, which would reduce bullying in elementary and middle schools— particularly as it affects #LGBTQ students. Every child should feel safe at school – period.

In recent years... some educators have begun a slow, complex process of “unlearning” the widely accepted American narrative of Thanksgiving. #wereNIEA #unThanksgiving #ThanksgivingMyth edweek.org/ew/articles/2019/…

Tomorrow is an important day for DACA. There will be rallies across the US as the Supreme Court hears arguments on ending DACA. If you need a basic refresher, watch this video. Wanna attend a rally near you? Check here: unitedwedream.org/protect-da… #HomeIsHere #HereToStay #ProtectDACA
The Trump Admin. wants to end DACA and derail the future of over 700,000 Dreamers. With the Supreme Court hearing the case this month, let's explain what's going on with DACA. How did we get here and what will happen next? Be sure to sign our petition: votolatino.org/dreamact

The Trump Administration is attacking LGBTQ youth AGAIN, allowing shelters, foster care providers, drug prevention programs, and HIV & STI treatment programs to discriminate against them.
That's not "religious freedom." That's oppression, discrimination, and harm!

Our findings show 6 in 10 LGBTQ students experience anti-LGBTQ discrimination at school, including adherence to traditional gender norms, restricting LGBTQ expression, and limiting LGBTQ inclusion in extracurricular activities. Time for @usedgov to take these incidents seriously.
Fewer #LGBTQstudents who report discrimination in schools have had their claims investigated by @usedgov in the last three years. Thank you @RepBonamici and our #allies in Congress for holding #BetsyDeVos accountable to doing her job. bonamici.house.gov/sites/bon…

All students need to be able to learn in a safe environment free from harassment and discrimination. Alarmingly, @amprog found a sharp decline in enforcement of LGBTQ students’ civil rights under the Trump administration. bonamici.house.gov/media/pre…

On #NationalComingOutDay and every day educators should not fear losing their jobs because they come out as LGBTQ. Support the Equality Act which would provide clear non-discrimination protections to educators across the country ow.ly/GxFK50wJ1vK #NoRightToDiscriminate

GLSEN Educator of the year, Stephanie Byers, is speaking now in front of the Supreme Court: "You are taking possibilities away from students if you deny them the opportunity to have educators in whom they can see themselves and by whom they can feel inspired." #RiseUpOct8

This week there are 4 cases before the Supreme Court that threaten to put LGBTQ students and educators at risk. Read GLSEN's Executive Director @EByard in @The74 today on this profoundly important week for our communities.
