Ally Week is dedicated to identifying and celebrating Allies against anti-LGBT bullying and harassment. And how do you find Allies? You TAKE ACTION!

Here are a few ways you can participate in Ally Week. From speedy pledges to longer organizing activities, this list provides ways that everyone can contribute. Find one that works for you.

1 - Take the ALLY PLEDGE! It only takes a minute and demonstrates your support against anti-LGBT bullying and harassment.

2 - Register your Ally Week event - SIGN UP HERE
Students and GSAs are strongly encouraged to register for GLSEN's Ally Week in order to receive free resources and to help us determine the total number of schools and students taking part. You can also contact a student organizer from the Jump-Start leadership team for support.

3 - Organize an Ally Week Action: A great way to take action is by organizing the Ally Week action at your school. With this action you'll identify Allies in your school or community, get people to sign the Ally Pledge, and collect email addresses for future organizing. You'll need to download all three documents below to get started.
