When the deck feels stacked against us, it’s easy to wonder: “Am I alone in this?”
This year’s theme, Stronger By Your Side, speaks to the power of GSAs–which create space for students to look to one another and answer with a resounding:
“You’re not alone. I’m standing strong by your side.”
This year’s theme was specifically inspired by moments when we’ve seen LGBTQ and allied people look to one another for support and strength. We hope this sticker serves as a reminder that you ALWAYS have people in your corner!
There's no application process here! A student is considered an active member of The GSA Network simply by connecting with Iowa Safe Schools GSA Network programming during the school year.
Julia Martell is an Iowa-based artist with an MFA in Graphic Design—and a proud former GSA president!
"I wanted to celebrate what GSA gave me—visibility, creativity, connection. This design leans into that—bright, fun colors and a meaningful promise—so it feels like a joyful badge of belonging.”
We’ll bring a bundle of stickers when we visit your club.
Order a title from our Affirming Resource Library—we’ll tuck a sticker into student shipments.
Attend an upcoming Iowa Safe Schools student event—grab your Network Member sticker at check-in.
While we crafted this sticker to be a student network member exclusive, you can support this campaign by pre-ordering a tote bag. All proceeds go directly to supporting our GSA Network programming!
