#GSADay4GJ: GSA Day for Gender Justice

GSA Day for 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.

This year, our TQ2S+ Youth Council will lead #GSADay4GJ through creative storytelling and media projects.

#GSADay4GJ is on Friday, November 17, 2023!

This year, TRUTH is calling on GSAs to mobilize around the fifth point of the platform:
We call for Decolonization and Reparations for all Indigenous and Black Peoples

We call for the payment of reparations that are owed and the reclamation of cultural practices by the communities from which they originated. We call for the active and complacent perpetrators of cultural appropriation and colonization to be held accountable and to recognize the privilege they maintain through the oppression of others.

History

In 2018, The National Trans Youth Council (TRUTH) wrote and published their Nine-Point Platform for Liberation to define their revolution and achieve liberation. The manifesto is not a static document but a living one, so 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 for GSA Day 4 Gender Justice.
