National GSA Day Activities
Wednesday, January 25th, is the first annual National Gay-Straight
Alliance Day -- and we've teamed up with Senator Al Franken of Minnesota to
show off GSA activism! All we ask: call your Senators on National GSA Day
and ask them to co-sponsor or support the Student Non-Discrimination Act!
The Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA) is a much-needed bill that will
give LGBT students the federal right to be free from discrimination,
harassment and bullying based on a student's actual or perceived sexual
orientation or gender identity. On National GSA Day, Senator Franken will
host a public call devoted to the work GSA activists can do to get this
important bill passed. Email emily_riff@franken.senate.gov if
you'd like to be a part of the call.
The country needs SNDA to become law, and for that to happen, your Senators
need to hear from you. GSA Network will send our letter of support for SNDA
next week -- will you join us on Wednesday by calling on your Senator to
support SNDA?
