TAKE
PART
This year, taking part means adding your voice, not showing your face. There's a way in for everyone, whether you've got something to say, or you just want to stand with those who do.
Share the graphics
The simplest, most powerful thing you can do. On 30th July, we'll have a wall of anonymous messages turned into graphics, real words from parents, LGBTQI+ people and allies.
Share them from your own accounts with #OutAndProudParentsDay.
The more of us posting the same words, the safer every single person in the crowd becomes. You don't need a message of your own. You just need to help these ones be seen.
Or make your own
Prefer to create and share your own? We've made a free Canva template you can use. Write your message, keep it anonymous, and post it on 30th July with the hashtag #OutAndProudParentsDay
Please don't include your name, your child's name, or anything that could identify either of you. The whole point is that we're all safe in the crowd. By using the hashtag, individuals will be able to follow the stream of conversation that takes place on the 30th of July.
If you're safe to be visible
Some parents are safe to be seen, and choose to be.
If that's you, and you've thought it through, you're welcome to share your own photo, video or words with the hashtag #OutAndProudParentsDay
But this year, your safety and your child's safety come first, always. If there's any doubt, add your voice to the crowd instead.
Send us your message
Tell us what you've never been able to say out loud. A message of love. A fear you carry. A hope you hold. It's completely anonymous, we never ask for your real name, and we never will.
We'll turn your words into a graphic in our campaign style, ready to join the wall.
Please send your message by Friday 25 July, so we have time to turn every one into a graphic ready for the day.
