Host a Stand UP Speak OUT Event
Hosting an event is a fun, easy way to raise awareness about our Stand UP Speak OUT Campaign for equality and justice for ALL people, inclusive of transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, ally, bisexual, lesbian, and gay persons . This is our opportunity to join together to say, "SILENT NO MORE! We will share the gift that we are...that gift being our authentic selves."
Your event should seek to inform, inspire, and move people in your community to action, encouraging them and supporting them in engaging hearts and minds, creating authentic connections, and dissolving differences that separate us. Print and hand out the Stand UP Speak OUT Challenge, as well as the How to Become a Stand UP Speak OUT Wind Changer.
When I dare to be powerful to use my strength in the service of my vision,
then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
-Poet Audre Lorde
There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.
-Victor Hugo
