Day of Silence

"The Day of Silence is an annual student-organized day of action to protest the
bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students, and their straight allies. Students take a day-long vow of silence to symbolically represent the silencing of LGBT students and their allies.
The national focus of the Day of Silence is specific to ending bullying and harassment of students, particularly physical violence and verbal threats."













What will you do to end the silence?
