Testifying City Council

Good afternoon , My name is  NAME, and I am a  GRADE student from  SCHOOL NAME. Today I am here to share my story about  LGBTQ+ STUDENT ISSUE and its impact on my life. As a  DESCRIPTION OF RELEVANT SOCIAL IDENTITIES, I faced  CHALLENGE OR STRUGGLE in NYC public schools. The lack of  SUPPORT SERVICE/RESOURCE made it incredibly difficult for me to  ACTION OR CIRCUMSTANCE. I vividly remember  SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE OR HARDSHIP because of the inadequate  SERVICE OR SUPPORT available to individuals like me. It made me feel  EMOTION OR STATE OF BEING, and I had to  ACTION TAKEN TO COPE. I strongly believe that  SPECIFIC ACTION OR POLICY CHANGE can significantly improve the lives of LGBTQ+ students, like myself, in our city. The  GOVERNING BODY must prioritize  RELEVANT ACTION OR POLICY to ensure that people in similar situations receive the necessary  SUPPORT OR RESOURCES. I urge you all to consider  SPECIFIC CALL TO ACTION OR CHANGE to prevent others from enduring the same challenges I faced. Thank you for allowing me to share my story, and I hope my experiences shed light on the urgent need for  ACTION OR POLICY CHANGE. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ students in NYC. Sincerely,
