Start a GSA

Is your administration trying to stop you from forming a GSA? Or saying they'll allow a GSA, but requiring members to get permission slips to join, telling you the GSA can't meet on campus, or making up other rules that make it almost impossible for you to meet and that no other club has to follow? Search for your school or GSA campaign below or start a campaign to get a GSA at your school! If you'd like to register your GSA, visit https://gsanetwork.org/gsa-registration

What We Deserve: How schools can support trans and queer youth of color

WE DESERVE 1) Public school systems that have funding regardless of local property tax or proximity to wealthy, white communities. 2) Police-free schools without armed guards or armed teachers. 3) Schools with GSAs (or other student-led convening spaces). 4) Administrators and Teachers who are POC, trans and queer. 5) Administrators, Teachers and Staff with annual Racial and Gender competency training. 6) Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and LGBTQIA relevant curriculums with Fine Arts and Advanced Placement courses that reflect our diverse and ancient cultures. 7) Multiple full-time nurses and full-time social workers at our schools. 8) Schools with Trans and Queer Youth of Color Student Government Committees

Having Gender Neutral Bathrooms throughout LBUSD

Access to bathrooms is about human rights and we in the trans community want to be able to use the bathroom without having to go to gendered ones. We should be able to use a bathroom in peace and not in fear at a public institution as protected under CA Education Code and CA State Law AB 1732.

trans and queer youth uniting for racial and gender justice

When GSA youth leaders unite, we can push back against oppression in our schools and across the country!

What do you want to change?

Most GSAs would agree that their schools are not 100% safe and welcoming for ALL students. Maybe you hear anti-gay and anti-transgender slurs in hallways and classrooms. Maybe your administration suspends students for wearing gender-nonconforming clothing or shirts supporting LGBT rights, or even arrests students who defend themselves from bullying. What is preventing all students from being able to succeed and graduate in your community?

Who can make it happen?

Think about who has the power to give you what you want. If you're trying to get a non-discrimination policy that protects LGBT students, for example, you would want to target your school board because they're the people who have the power to pass a district policy.

Build support from your community

Your petition will help you address issues that your community is facing, build support around a solution, and create change. Use your petition to explain to members of your community why your issue is important and to rally them behind you. While your petition alone won't win a campaign, it is an important tool to help show decision makers that you have community support.
