TAKE A PLEDGE FOR THE DAY OF SILENCE

LGBT students and allies from thousands of schools will take a vow of silence to call attention to the cultural epidemic of bullying, name-calling and harassment in our nation's schools.

While many of us are no longer in school, we can show our support of these students by pledging our moral support for the Day of Silence, and our promise to talk about its goals with family and friends - especially when the topic of bullying and school violence comes up.

Add your name to our 2009 Day of Silence Pledge - HERE.

We're aiming to rally 10,000 GLSEN supporters like you!

It takes just 30 seconds to pledge your support. But that simple action will send a powerful message to students across our country who endure relentless - and often unchecked - bullying and harassment simply because they're "different." While hundreds of thousands of students use their silence to protest anti-LGBT bullying and harassment, please pledge to use your voice to support their courage. And in the days to come, speak up and raise awareness in honor of these students.

Take the pledge - HERE.

Thank you for taking a stand.
