Successful Campaigns

On April 6, 2016, the Governing Board approved modifications to the dress code that removed language that differentiated standards between boys and girls.

This campaign took a lot of work just by outreaching to other GSAs or spreading the word out about this campaign to all the students in the district; in the end, the success came from every individual that contributed and became a part of this petition, whether by forming it, spreading it, or just signing it. The campaign ended with the district deciding to allow schools have their seniors vote for what they wanted their graduation gowns to be. The senior classes can now choose whether they want a unisex color for their gowns or have everyone choose individually what color they prefer. Our strength came in out numbers.

After we delivered the petition to the White House and ICE, Yordy was allowed a reconsideration hearing -- where, after being denied twice earlier in the process, he was finally granted his credible fear request. He has been released and reunited with his family, as well as his former teacher who helped him start his GSA just a few years ago.
