Write for Student Rights

We are proud to partner with YouthLine to invite you to join their letter-writing campaign, Write for Student Rights, advocating for 2SLGBTQ+ youth in schools. With the rise of anti-2SLGTQ+ actions and polices, it is more important than ever to stand up for safe and inclusive learning environments.

Your voice can make a significant impact in creating positive change for all students. Together, we can ensure that every student feels safe, valued, and accepted. Visit youthline.ca/studentrights to get started.
