It’s Day of Silence 2012

Goooood morning! The Day of Silence is finally here and we’re up bright and early with you to make this year a success!

This year, students in every state, the District of Columbia, and nearly 60 countries are participating in events at their school for the Day of Silence!

Join us in the action! We invite you to follow our blog – blog.glsen.org – as we post student stories and messages from supporters throughout the day.

Don’t forget to join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #DayOfSilence and following @glsen!

If you encounter any resistance to your participation in Day of Silence, go to http://dayofsilence.org/legalhelp/ to report it.

If you’re unsure about whether or not you’ll participate in Day of Silence today, we invite you to participate in whatever way feels right for you: not talking at all, remaining silent for a portion of a day, or using your voice to raise awareness of the bullying & harassment LGBT students face.

If you haven’t already, please take a moment to register your participation so we can count you in our numbers! Let’s make this year the biggest year yet!

Together, we’ll keep working until that’s a reality!
