All young people—including LGBTQ+ youth and children of LGBTQ+ families—should have the right to safe, affirming and inclusive schools; on this point, responsible adults agree. These resources provide information about inclusive practices that can help all children to thrive.

Learning for Justice in the South

When it comes to investing in racial justice in education, we believe that the South is the best place to start.
