Make cards to help teachers create an LGBTQ+-inclusive classroom. Most lgbt students feel unsafe in unsupportive classrooms. Making staff supportive and LGBT-aware leads to less drop out rates and less suicide rates.

Post flyers to demand your school be a safe space for LGBTQ students. Place them outside classrooms and bathrooms to show that this is a safe community, and discrimination will not be tolerated.
