Group promoting LGBTQ+ student safety lands $350K grant from Parsons Foundation Abstract: “The foundation of the GoDaddy founder has given a $350,000 grant to a group that advocates for LGBTQ+ students… Nearly two-thirds of Arizona’s LGBTQ+ students report experiencing discrimination at school, often due to exclusionary policies, bullying, or lack of representation. Education Action Alliance will use the grant to grow its training and outreach efforts, particularly in school communities that have lacked access to resources.”

preparedness ≠ privilege.
preparedness = equity.

we don’t ask if you're ready.
we ask if the system was ever built for you.

#OutAndReady #inclusivepreparedness #lgbtqsafety #resilienceforall

#TipTuesday
your go-bag doesn’t need to be perfect.
just keep a small “grab bag” by the door.

#TipTuesday
add emergency info to your phone lock screen.
your name, trusted contact, allergies, anything that helps first responders help you.

not everything needs to be a go-bag.
sometimes it’s one step.
