Get Busy, Get Equal has a ton of information for students, parents, teachers and school administrators. But there's only so much a national organization like the ACLU can do on the local level to make schools safer, more welcoming places for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Much of what can be done to improve your school are things that students, parents, or community members can do themselves, given the right tools.

Get Busy, Get Equal has a collection of easy how-to information on all sorts of local organizing, with an entire section about things you can do to make your school a better place for LGBT students. Learn more about:

• getting your school to establish an anti-harassment policy;
• how to start a GSA; and
• how to run an anti-harassment training.

Plus, Get Busy, Get Equal's Schools & Youth section has a huge collection of online resources and information to help you understand your rights. Including:

• What's Your Problem? - information to help you better understand your rights, including what steps you should take to fight back and how we might be able to help.


• The Library - a huge collection of information about schools issues for LGBT youth and links to handouts, letters and legal briefs from both the ACLU's website and elsewhere on the web.


• Get Help - contact us with questions about experiencing anti-gay discrimination in your school and how to find out what your rights are under the law.

So if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work, visit the schools section of "Get Busy, Get Equal" and learn what you can do! If you need advice or assistance, or if you just want to let us know what you're doing to make a difference, please contact us.
