We're heading to the National Conference on Student Life in November to help student leaders flip the script: leadership doesn’t just live in the White House or the Capitol — it starts in your city hall, your school board, your community. 👇🏻

Our founder, Krystal Marx, had a great time presenting on Pride to the City of Redmond this afternoon! The breakout conversations highlighted a few key systems changes the city can make to be more inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community.

You can start by calling out injustices as you see them arise - at school, in the workplace, in racist, ableist, misogynistic microaggressions.

Think of 'saying something' as a muscle and train. Build it as you would any other skill, because we need EVERYONE to be speaking up... like, yesterday.

Running for office? Yeah, it's terrifying. Public scrutiny, endless hours, the risk of losing... But if we don't step up, who will?

People who fight only for themselves, that's who.

Sometimes, fear is the sign you're doing something important. #civicduty #publicservice #leadership

📢 Meet the Founder!

Krystal Marx (she/they) was homeless at eight years old, and she became a playground "bodyguard for hire" in Second Grade so she could reliably eat (their preferred payment? Chocolate pudding.). Over 30 years later, they're still fighting... but now, it's for community.
