Join the Safe Schools Action Network!


Oct 01, 2004

GLSEN has launched its Safe Schools Action Network, allowing concerned users to target key education decisionmakers with the click of a mouse.

Click on "Teach Respect" and begin creating positive change in America's K-12 schools today.

"The power of this new system is that is builds upon our already extensive chapter network," says John Spear, former National Field Director. "By merging grassroots energy and technology, we'll have an even stronger presence at the local, state, and federal levels."

"Our goal is to engage thousands of new people in a way that's easy for them but incredibly meaningful for us," he continued.

In launching the Safe Schools Action Network, GLSEN has become the first grassroots organization in the country with the online capacity to target individual school district superintendents. This first-of-
a-kind feature makes it possible to reach superintendents in communities where GLSEN chapters or other safe schools groups have yet to form.

Other highlights include:

  • the capacity to communicate via email with state and federal representatives on key issues impacting LGBT people in schools,
  • timely legislative updates on positive and regressive legislation under consideration at the state and federal levels, and
  • a "send to a friend" feature that makes it easy for you to help GLSEN expand its reach to communities nationwide.

So, please, take two minutes to sign on as a member.
