The Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition, founded in 2008 by a group of queer and trans young people from across Mississippi, was formed in the wake of two cases of discrimination against LGBTQIQ young people. MSSC continues to be led by young folks and supports community efforts to reduce anti-LGBTQIQ bias in public schools and communities throughout Mississippi. They also recognize and actively work against harassment, violence and discrimination of all kinds.

This organization is supported through the Funding Queerly Giving Circle, which is housed at Astraea.
