Today is the 12th annual National Day of Silence.

According to handouts from the table set up by Blegen House in the College Center:

"The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBTQ name-calling, bullying, and harassment in schools. This year's event is held in memory of LAWRENCE KING, an 8th grader from California who was shot and killed on February 12, 2008 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression."

So stop by the table today and pick up a sticker to wear to show your support! If you absolutely cannot remain quiet, still wear a sticker to show your solidarity and inform people about why you're wearing it.
