International Day of Pink!

Today, April 13 2016, is International Day of Pink!
​
The Day of Pink is the International Day against Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia, Transphobia, and Transmisogyny across the world. We invite everyone to celebrate diversity by wearing a pink shirt and by organizing activities in their workplaces, schools and communities.

How to get involved:

 Encourage your friends to wear pink

• Make a Facebook group and invite your friends
• Make an announcement at school the day before the Day of Pink
• Give out candy or treats to everyone who wears pink

 Take the Pink Pledge 
 Organize a flashmob!

• Put together a playlist and dance!
• Bring pink shirts or buttons!

 Run a competition!

• Challenge staff and sports teams to put together the most outrageous sports outfits
• Get teachers to organize a competition around which class can wear the most pink
• Give out prizes for whoever wears the most pink!
• Ask local stores if they’ll donate the prizes!

 Talk to your teachers about creating an LGBTQ inclusion curriculum at your school

• Talk to your principal and teachers about how you can change content to include LGBTQ communities
• How about new books for your library? Find books that have LGBTQ characters by visiting the Rainbow Link.
