READ THIS, SAVE LIVES: A TEACHER'S GUIDE TO CREATING SAFER CLASSROOMS FOR LGBTQ+ STUDENTS

Written by 16 year old Sameer Jha, this book is intended to help teachers create classrooms and schools where LGBTQ+ students can thrive. The project has deep personal relevance for Sameer, because he was severely bullied for being different in elementary and middle school. As he grew older, he learned more about his own identity and came out as queer and trans. He eventually found love and acceptance, as well as a new purpose: to put an end to anti-LGBTQ+ bullying in schools.
