April 4th is the GLSEN Day of (NO) Silence. This started in the mid 90’s by two college students, Day of Silence was a nationally-recognized demonstration where LGBTQ+ students and allies all around the country protest the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ+ people in schools. Every April, students would go through the school day without speaking, ending the day with Breaking the Silence rallies to bring attention to ways their schools and communities can become more inclusive. Moving to Day of (NO) Silence due to the political movement in the country. https://www.glsen.org/dayofnosilence
