GSA virtual event
The GLSEN Day of Silence is a national student-led demonstration where LGBTQ students and allies all around the country — and the world — take a vow of silence to protest the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ people in schools. This year due to the quarantine, we are going virtual! We will be combining the LLCC Gay-Straight Alliance’s yearly Speak Out event with the Day of Silence to bring awareness about LGBTQ+ discrimination in schools and to “break the silence.” LGBTQ+ students and allies are welcome to join in on the silence by registering. Posts will be made to GSA Facebook and Instagram pages throughout the day starting at 10 a.m. (Instagram: GSA_LLCC Facebook: LLCC GSA).
If you would like to join in, feel free to send a video or photo of why you are being silent to our Instagram or email GSA president Ci Richardson at crich8642@llcc.edu.
Thank you from PTK and GSA
Phi Theta Kappa teamed up with the Gay-Straight Alliance this past Wednesday for Inclusion Day in which students spoke about the importance of inclusion and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community within academics, highlighting notable historical figures who were LGBTQ+. Along with the presentation and speeches that were given, students hosted a charity drive to collect donations for the Phoenix Center in downtown Springfield, a non-profit organization that hosts support groups and housing for LGBTQ+ youth and also organizes the annual PrideFest every May.
PTK and GSA would like to thank the many staff and faculty members that donated to the drive. In total, over 300 items were collected and taken to the Phoenix Center, including personal hygiene products, games, paints, canvasses, gift cards, cleaning supplies, etc. PTK hopes to continue this Inclusion Day in the future and is delighted by the support from staff and faculty and the student turn-out at the event.
