Respect Everywhere Banner

Now more than ever in this time of global isolation, we must support LGBTQ students. After the pandemic cancelled one of our biggest fundraisers, we decided to take the GLSEN Respect Awards online with RESPECT EVERYWHERE, hosted from May 18-22. Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word by using #RespectEverywhere – and to all who donated to support LGBTQ students and inclusive school environments.

It's not too late to support RESPECT EVERYWHERE!
