Millions of people went purple on Spirit Day to send a clear message: bullying is unacceptable. Together, we all showed LGBTQ youth that we’ve got their backs.

Spirit Day trended all day on Twitter, and received over a billion impressions on social media, which means that Spirit Day’s message of support reached LGBTQ young people all across the world. That real impact will go a long way in our work to help put a stop to bullying. Click here to see who participated.
