Power in Pride: Reclaiming Queer Activism in NYC Schools

The Miseducation Podcast covers inequities in New York City schools from the perspective of high school students. This is Season 8: Confronting the Status Quo | Episode 3. -- By Mher Melikyan At my school, the Gender and Sexuality Alliance feels more like a social club than a space for activism. And I’m not alone in feeling that way. In this episode, I look at how GSAs in New York City have drifted from their original purpose: organizing for change and uplifting queer voices. Once at the front lines of student activism, many GSAs now avoid political conversations and lack diversity, even as queer youth face mounting attacks across the United States. It’s time for a GSA rebrand. To recenter activism and ensure every queer student feels seen and supported, GSAs must be spaces that are bold, inclusive, and purposeful. Queer youth have played a key role in leading social movements, and history shows that when we organize, we create change. It’s time for GSAs to reflect that legacy and reclaim their role. -- Check out our library of more than 100 episodes at https://bellvoices.org/podcast.
