Educating for Equality
The purpose of the LGBTQ Center Safe Zone program is to create a network of allies for individuals who may be marginalized on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression. All UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff, and students are eligible to become Safe Zone trainees. Training sessions take place several times a semester, and customized Safe Zone trainings can be scheduled with the LGBTQ Center on behalf of any department, group, or organization.

The vigil will include an open-mic for poetry, reflection, and spoken word; a letter-writing station where participants can send messages of support to trans people through Point of Pride; and a luminary station to honor the lives of transgender and gender-diverse people lost to violence in the past year.
