Bill 118 sres 628, also known as the Rise Up for LGBTQI+ Youth in Schools Initiative, is a resolution that aims to support the goals and ideals of promoting equal educational opportunities, basic civil rights protections, and freedom from erasure for all students, with a particular focus on LGBTIQI+ young people in K-12 schools.
The resolution calls on communities across the country to take action and demand these rights for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It emphasizes the importance of creating safe and inclusive environments in schools where all students can learn and thrive without fear of discrimination or harassment.
By supporting this initiative, Congress is sending a message that it stands with LGBTQI+ youth and is committed to ensuring that they have the same opportunities and protections as their peers. This resolution serves as a call to action for lawmakers, educators, and community members to work together to create a more inclusive and equitable educational system for all students.
