April 20th - April 24th
Leading up to the Day of Silence on Friday, April 24th, the Gender Equity Association of Memorial High School will be hosting a Week of Action, where we release toolkits, workbooks, and additional resources for everyone to learn about LGBTQ+ issues, and take action in support of the community!
MONDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
Being an Ally: How non-LGBTQ+ people can best support the community and their LGBTQ+ peers!
LGBTQ+ History: History of the LGBTQ+ equality movement, and how we can learn from it!

THURSDAY
LGBTQ+ Current Events: What legislation, events, actions, and people are currently fighting for LGBTQ+ people!
FRIDAY
Day of Silence: Standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ people who have been forced to stay silent.
The Day of Silence is a national event created to display the struggles of LGBTQ+ people, and their oppression. People are encouraged to stay silent as a means of standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ people who have been forced to stay silent due to safety or societal stigmas. Of course, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, remaining silent in our households does not make as large of an impact, so we have launched a week of action, to spark conversation, education, and tangible action to stand with LGBTQ+ people!
What is the Day of Silence?

READ THE TOOLKIT!
Learn what LGBTQ+ stands for, language surrounding issues of gender identity and sexual orientation, labels, coming out, and the basics to being an ally to the community. This is a great foundation to the LGBTQ+ community, and introduction to everything we will be discussing during the week of action!

READ THE TOOLKIT!
Being an ally is a lot more than just 'not hating' LGBTQ+ people. It means working against our biases and priveleges in order to stand up for the community. It means standing up for LGBTQ+ people, educating yourself, and ensuring that people in the community feel safe around you.
LGBTQ+ HISTORY

READ THE TOOLKIT!
In order to be activists today, we must understand the history behind not only the movement, but discrimination and oppression. Read to learn more about LGBTQ+ people, and the community prior to the gay rights movement that started in the 1960s.
