Issues AGENDA

A Call To Action for Safe and Inclusive School Environments for Trans, Queer, Two-Spirit and Black, Indigenous and Youth of Color in California schools.

Transgender, Queer, Two-Spirit (TQ2S+), and youth of color in California schools have been and continue to be targeted and attacked. We refuse to allow these efforts to grow any further! The Genders and Sexualities Alliance Network of California (GSA Network CA) has conducted a comprehensive survey to identify key issues affecting Trans, Queer, Two-Spirit (TQ2S+) youth of color in California public schools.

The survey results were used to form our issues agenda and will drive our Statewide Lavender Futures Campaign aimed at implementing inclusive learning environments where all students feel safe, seen, and have a sense of belonging— fostering acceptance, community, and equity in education through targeted community-driven programs, policies, tools, and practices. In this report we will share the survey results, the key issues affecting TQ2S+ youth of color in California schools, and solutions we will need to work together to implement and improve inclusive learning environments.
