Iowa pride network email format

Iowa Pride Network (IPN) was a youth leadership organization that empowered youth to fight bigotry and hate in schools and colleges by training student leaders and supporting student-led Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) clubs throughout the state. From 2005-2014, IPN helped bring GSA clubs to 20% of public high schools, and 80% of colleges impacting more than 100,000 students at 100 schools each year. Additionally, IPN’s student advocates played a key role in changing laws and policies that impact youth at the local and state level. IPN also founded and operated National Gay-Straight Alliance Day®, which united 37+ statewide networks of GSA clubs throughout the country and 15+ national organizations to celebrate the impact GSAs have in creating safe schools. In 2014, IPN merged with One Iowa, the state’s largest LGBTQ organization and National GSA Day became a program of GSA Network (Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network, formerly Gay-Straight Alliance Network), a next-generation LGBTQ racial and gender justice organization that empowers and trains queer, trans and allied youth leaders to advocate, organize, and mobilize an intersectional movement for safer schools and healthier communities.
