(NAME-MCE) It's STILL Elementary Screenings Near You

[Anselmo Villanueva]

It is an exciting time for us as we watch the re-release of It's
Elementary - Talking About Gay Issues in School spark dialogue across
the world!

As part of our national campaign to address LGBT issues in schools, we
are working with local community and educational organizations to
screen the new It's STILL Elementary, which looks at the incredible
impact that It's Elementary has had over the last decade, follows up
with some of the teachers and students featured in the first film and
asks them how lessons about LGBT people changed their lives. It's
STILL Elementary is a call to action for parents and educators to
continue working for safe, inclusive schools, and our community
partners are screening the film to energize their safe schools efforts
and raise money to support their work.

Rhonda Thomason at the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching
Tolerance program has called It's STILL Elementary "a powerful call to
action... Nobody can watch this movie and walk away without feeling
that they too have a role to play in creating a climate that respects
and protects all youth."

We invite you to attend one of the following upcoming screenings. If
you don't see your community listed and are interested in hosting a
screening, please contact our national outreach coordinator, Ryan
Schwartz, at rschwartz at respectforall.org. Don't forget to check our
upcoming events page,
