Day of NO Silence
Historically, Night of Noise is breaking the silence for Day of Silence. The goal of Day of Silence is to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ youth being harassed and bullied. This year GLSEN is changing the name of Day of Silence to Day of NO Silence in response to over 800 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced last year.
“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” - GLSEN. (2023). Join us for Day of Silence on April 14, 2023 and support LGBTQ+ students! Retrieved March 18, 2024, from https://www.glsen.org/dayofnosilence
Night of Noise 2023 Recap
Despite the rain, our youth marched in the streets to show their pride and break their silence. Once at the library, our youth enjoyed seeing multiple performances by drag artists, comedians, and dancers. The Boulder Public library was filled with queer joy on April 14th.
A special thank you to our volunteers and the Boulder Public Library for their partnership for years to come!
