SUMMARY:National Spirit Day
DESCRIPTION:Spirit Day is a day to show solidarity and support for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and queer youths who face bullying and harassment because of their identity. It is observed on the third Thursday of October every year. The day was started in 2010 by a Canadian teenager named Brittany McMillan\, who was inspired by the anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day in Canada. She asked people to wear purple\, the color of spirit on the Pride Flag\, in remembrance of youths who had committed suicide due to bullying. The day is now organized and promoted by GLAAD\, an organization that works to accelerate acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community. Millions of people\, including celebrities\, media outlets\, corporations\, landmarks\, sports teams\, and faith groups participate in Spirit Day by wearing purple and sharing messages of support on social media with the hashtags #SpiritDay and #ChooseKindness. Spirit Day is a day to celebrate the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and to remind them that they are not alone. \nLearn more from Glaad.org.

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day
DESCRIPTION:National Coming Out Day is a day to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community and their courage to live openly and authentically.

SUMMARY:Spirit Day 2022 (National Event)
DESCRIPTION:Millions go purple on Spirit Day in a stand against bullying and to show their support for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. Observed annually since 2010\, individuals\, schools\, organizations\, corporations\, and public figures wear purple\, which symbolizes ‘spirit’ on the rainbow flag. \n \nabout #spiritday\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Spirit Day?\nSpirit Day began in 2010 as a way to show support for LGBT youth and take a stand against bullying.  Following a string of high-profile suicide deaths of gay teens in 2010\, GLAAD worked to involve millions of teachers\, workplaces\, celebrities\, media outlets and students in going purple on social media or wearing purple\, a color that symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag.  Spirit Day now occurs every year on the third Thursday in October\, during National Bullying Prevention Month\, and has become the most visible day of support for LGBT youth. \nThis year GLAAD will celebrate Spirit Day – where we will all stand together; communities\, corporations\, celebrities\, landmarks\, faith groups\, sports leagues\, schools and so much more\, to send a message of solidarity and acceptance to LGBT youth. \nWhere did the idea come from?\nAn amazing teenager wanted to remember those young people who lost their lives to suicide and to take a stand against bullying. \nWho participates?\nStudents\, schools\, organizations\, corporations\, media professionals\, celebrities\, parents and many more. Everyone from Oprah to Cher to Facebook and MTV have gone purple for Spirit Day. Even the White House joined the cause! \nHow do I get involved?\nIt’s easy! The first step – pledge to go purple now! The official GLAAD Presents #SpiritDay campaign kicks off in September with new and exciting ways to participate\, spread the word and stand up against bullying!

SUMMARY:Coming Out Day (National Event) - 2022
DESCRIPTION:Coming out can happen in many forms\, from telling your family and friends about your sexuality to simply correcting a stranger about your gender identity. No two coming out stories are exactly the same; your coming out will be shaped by the supports that you have in school\, at home\, or in your community\, and the privileges you hold in other aspects of your identity. Today is a day to celebrate and recognize your coming out journey(s) and how they may skip around or change over time.

SUMMARY:Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast - 2022
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT HARVEY MILK\nWhen he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977\, Harvey Milk (1930- 1978) became one of the first openly gay men to be elected to political office in the United States. On election night\, Harvey Milk reminded his supporters: “This is not my victory – it’s yours. If a gay man can win\, it proves that there is hope for all minorities who are willing to fight.” He was assassinated (along with Mayor George Moscone) on November 27\, 1978\, only eleven months after taking office. Although he did not live to see his dreams fulfilled\, the example of his life and leadership has made him an important national symbol for the struggle for human rights. \nProceeds benefit Coachella Valley youth through Gay-Straight Alliance clubs and LGBT youth related programs. \n

SUMMARY:Spirit Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Millions go purple on Spirit Day in a stand against bullying and to show their support for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. Observed annually since 2010\, individuals\, schools\, organizations\, corporations\, and public figures wear purple\, which symbolizes ‘spirit’on the rainbow flag. \n \nabout #spiritday\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Spirit Day?\nSpirit Day began in 2010 as a way to show support for LGBT youth and take a stand against bullying.  Following a string of high-profile suicide deaths of gay teens in 2010\, GLAAD worked to involve millions of teachers\, workplaces\, celebrities\, media outlets and students in going purple on social media or wearing purple\, a color that symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag.  Spirit Day now occurs every year on the third Thursday in October\, during National Bullying Prevention Month\, and has become the most visible day of support for LGBT youth. \nThis year GLAAD will celebrate Spirit Day – where we will all stand together; communities\, corporations\, celebrities\, landmarks\, faith groups\, sports leagues\, schools and so much more\, to send a message of solidarity and acceptance to LGBT youth. \nWhere did the idea come from?\nAn amazing teenager wanted to remember those young people who lost their lives to suicide and to take a stand against bullying. \nWho participates?\nStudents\, schools\, organizations\, corporations\, media professionals\, celebrities\, parents and many more. Everyone from Oprah to Cher to Facebook and MTV have gone purple for Spirit Day. Even the White House joined the cause! \nHow do I get involved?\nIt’s easy! The first step – pledge to go purple now! The official GLAAD Presents #SpiritDay campaign kicks off in September with new and exciting ways to participate\, spread the word and stand up against bullying!

SUMMARY:Coming Out Day (National Event) - 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is an annual LGBTQawareness day observed on October 11.  Founded in the United States in 1988\, the initial idea was grounded in the feminist and gay liberation spirit of the personal being political\, and the emphasis on the most basic form of activism being coming out to family\, friends and colleagues\, and living life as an openly lesbian or gay person.  The foundational belief is that homophobia thrives in an atmosphere of silence and ignorance\, and that once people know that they have loved ones who are lesbian or gay\, they are far less likely to maintain homophobic or oppressive views. \nIn more recent years\, the idea of the “Lesbian and Gay Community” has been largely subsumed into the idea of the LGBT community\, and the idea of “coming out” expanded to not only include the voluntary self-disclosure of a lesbian\, gay\, or bisexual sexual orientation\, but also transgender\, genderqueer\, or other non-mainstream gender identity.

SUMMARY:Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast - 2019
DESCRIPTION:Details to be announced \n  \nABOUT HARVEY MILK\nWhen he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977\, Harvey Milk (1930- 1978) became one of the first openly gay men to be elected to political office in the United States. On election night\, Harvey Milk reminded his supporters: “This is not my victory – it’s yours. If a gay man can win\, it proves that there is hope for all minorities who are willing to fight.” He was assassinated (along with Mayor George Moscone) on November 27\, 1978\, only eleven months after taking office. Although he did not live to see his dreams fulfilled\, the example of his life and leadership has made him an important national symbol for the struggle for human rights. \nProceeds benefit Coachella Valley youth through Gay-Straight Alliance clubs and LGBT youth related programs. \n

SUMMARY:San Diego Pride Parade & Festival - 2018
DESCRIPTION:** BUS TRIP CANCELLED **\nStudents & Parents\,\nPlease accept our apology for the regretful but necessary cancelation of the bus trip to San Diego Pride on July 14th. The low registration numbers did not support the huge cost of transportation and logistics for an event of this nature.  All deposits paid will be immediately refunded to the credit card used during registration. \nWe are grateful for your interest and willingness to march with us and we share in the disappointment of not being able to participate in the parade. However\, we look forward to being back stronger than ever before\, in July 2019\, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall. \nThanks for your understanding\,\nBoard of Directors\nSafe Schools Desert Cities
