GRIN Campaign, Global Respect in Education, is a transatlantic non-profit organisation and advocacy group which campaigns primarily for LGBTQ (WP) social and political equality in education. It seeks to end Wikipedia:discrimination, Wikipedia:harassment, and Wikipedia:bullying based on sexual orientation, Wikipedia:gender identity and gender expression in all educational institutes. The campaign supports both direct action and a photographic protest, known as “RESPECT”. The photographs show people in front of a white backdrop wearing block rainbow colors with “RESPECT” painted on their face in the colors of the gay pride flag. The campaign was created on October 29, 2010 by Wikipedia:Bedales School student, Claudia White. The RESPECT photographs are featured on the campaigns website, as well as Facebook and Wikipedia:Flickr.

Mission[edit]

GRIN Campaign’s mission statement reads:

“Our mission is to unite globally and stand up to bullying. Especially bullying of those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community, and those who are “just different”. We want to empower everybody to demand equality and respect and hold accountable those who stand in the way. ”

The campaign is run by four students Claudia White , Patrick Lindsey, Tim Jones and George Veys.

History[edit]

It was inaugurated in response to a rash of widely-publicized bullying-related suicides of juvenile, particularly, LGBTQ youth, school students in the last half of 2010, including that of Tyler Clementi. It was established as a UK and US alternative to other, older LGBT civil rights advocacy organizations, which do not place as much emphasis on education, and focus only on the United States.
