GLSEN - Remembering Lawrence

15-year-old Lawrence King was
murdered at school on February 12, 2008.

Friends say the reason was his
sexual orientation and gender expression.

Make sure Lawrence is not forgotten.

Vigils in memory of Lawrence King together with the National Day of Silence, calling for an end to violence and harassment directed at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in schools, are being organized in communities across the country. Check below to find a vigil, a “Breaking the Silence” or other community event in your area (for in-school events, please register at www.studentorganizing.org), or fill out the form to list a remembrance event in your community.

This page was created to support the efforts of organizations and individuals nationwide. The more events we organize, the louder our collective voice. Please help make sure that what happened to Lawrence never happens again.
