GSA Day 4 Gender Justice
GSA Day 4 Gender Justice (#GSADay4GJ) is a national day of action for GSA clubs, LGBTQ+ youth, and allies to center trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people and mobilize for their liberation.
#GSADay4GJ is on Thursday, November 14, 2024! Click here to visit this year’s GSADay4GJ Campaign webpage. This year, we are calling on GSAs to mobilize around the sixth point of the platform:
We Call for Comprehensive Education that Reflects Our Histories and Needs.
We call for the use of informed educational practices that provide access to curriculum to help build opportunities for historically erased peoples. We call for free and non-compulsory education for all ages and all access levels.
History
In 2018, The National Trans Youth Council (TRUTH) wrote and published their Nine-Point Platform for Liberation in order to define their revolution and achieve freedom. The manifesto is not a static document, but a living one, so that it may be updated and changed to reflect the council’s increasing understanding of the systems of oppression and the changes in the language we use to describe both ourselves and these systems. Since its creation, the platform has been used for each year’s GSA Day 4 Gender Justice Theme.
