History of Day of (No) Silence: Started in the mid 90’s by two college students, Day of Silence has expanded to reach hundreds of thousands of students each year. Every April, students would go through the school day without speaking, ending the day with Breaking the Silence rallies to bring attention to ways their schools and communities can become more inclusive.

2024 Day of (No) Silence: With more than 800 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced last year, we must Rise Up and Take Action. GLSEN’s Day of NO Silence is a nationally-recognized student-led demonstration where LGBTQ+ students and allies all around the country—and the world— protest the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ+ people in schools.

This event will take place on April 12th 4-6 PM at Zebra Youth and is intended for youth ages 13-18. We will contact you the first week of April to confirm your attendance. 

If you have any questions related to the event, please reach out to our Youth Services Director, Stephanie Flautero at sflautero@zebrayouth.org.
