What is spirit day?

Spirit Day is a means of speaking out against LGBTQIA+ bullying and standing with LGBTQIA+ youth, who disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Pledging to "go purple" on Spirit Day is a way for everyone — forward-thinking companies, global leaders, respected celebrities, neighbors, parents, classmates, and friends — to visibly show solidarity with LGBTQIA+ youth and to take part in the largest, most visible anti-bullying campaign in the world.
