Events / Days of Action
 

 January - No Name-Calling Week

The project's mission is to focus national attention on the problem of name-calling in schools, and to provide students and educators with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their communities.

No Name-Calling Week was created by GLSEN and Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing and is supported by over 40 national partner organizations.
 

 April - Day of Silence

Founded in 1996, the Day of Silence has become the largest single student-led action towards creating safer schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Olympia High School had over 300 students participate in the Day of Silence in April 2006. For ideas on how to help your high school or college host a successful Day of Silence please contact BeReal@cfl.rr.com
 

 October - Ally Week

A national youth-led effort empowering students to be allies against anti-GLBTQ bullying, harassment and name-calling in K-12 schools.
