GLSEN, in partnership with [[UNESCO]], also coordinates an all-day strategic planning meeting with the global group of experts to coordinate collective resources and reduce homophobic and transphobic prejudice and violence in schools globally. * GLSEN publishes ''Out Online: The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glsen.org/sites/default/files/Out%20Online%20FINAL.pdf|title= Out Online: The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth |access-date=2015-11-11}}</ref> the first national report to examine the online experience of LGBTQ youth. While LGBTQ youth experience nearly three times as much bullying and harassment online, they also find greater peer support, access to health information, and opportunities to be civically engaged. * Transgender Student Rights, a youth-created grassroots organization, becomes a GLSEN program. * By youth nomination, GLSEN Executive Director Dr. Eliza Byard speaks at the [[Let Freedom Ring]] Commemoration and Call to Action event at the [[Lincoln Memorial]], where [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] delivered his famous "[[I Have a Dream]]" speech in 1963. Fellow speakers include Presidents Obama, Bill Clinton, and [[Jimmy Carter]]. GLSEN is the only representative from an LGBTQ organization to speak at the event.
