GLSEN Connecticut

Yesterday, @GLSENCT and community volunteers came together to package up Rainbow Libraries for schools across the state. Thanks to everyone who came and helped us! YOU made this possible and YOU made a difference in students lives across the state! #glsenct #rainbowlibraryct

Resources are limited, and will be prioritized on a first come, first served basis. Head to rainbowlibrary.org today!

LGBTQ+ students at schools with an LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum, including affirming books, have higher GPAs, are less likely to hear anti-LGBTQ remarks at school, and are less likely to miss school due to feeling unsafe.

CT K-12 School Staff: Request a FREE set of LGBTQ+ affirming books! For locations not already on our waitlist, GLSEN will be sending LGBTQ+ affirming text sets to schools to the following counties in fall 2021: Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New London, Tolland, and Windham.

Tonight, we're proud to join with @equalityfl & #LGBTQ advocates from across the country for a virtual #BlackLivesMatter Town Hall – for an important discussion on how LGBTQ people can band together to combat racial violence. Tune in live tonight at 6ET: bit.ly/2XuTBle

"Accountability and partnership is built into good allyship work — ensuring the action you are taking has not only been vetted by the community you are serving, but that it also works in concert with the work they are already doing." refinery29.com/en-us/2020/05/…

A great resource for anyone looking to broaden their understanding of anti-racism and get involved to combat racism, specifically as it relates to anti-Blackness and police violence: tinyurl.com/antiracistreso…. Thanks to @victoriaalxndr for putting this together.

"This moment requires that we go further — that we make explicit commitments to embrace anti racism & end white supremacy, not as necessary corollaries to our mission, but as integral to the objective of full equality for #LGBTQ people.” bit.ly/3eBo8Ua #BlackLivesMatter

Today GLSEN joined dozens of #LGBTQ organizations to work in solidarity to embrace anti-racism and end white supremacy as integral to the objective of full equality for LGBTQ people. Please read and share: bit.ly/36JPNzz #BlackLivesMatter
