Going back to school can be a stressful time for transgender or gender non-conforming students. 80% of transgender students have reported feeling unsafe in school. Let's change that!

Take a selfie with one of these signs to show your friends that all students matter and have the right to feel safe at school. Send your pic to [email protected], and share it on Facebook, Twitter & tag , tumblr, Instagram & tag – everywhere!
