Event: Spirit Day this Thurs!

Hello everyone! We apologize for sending two e-mails this week, but we have an important event we wanted to make you aware of: Spirit Day is this Thurs (the 20th)! Please wear purple on Thurs to show your support! If you don't know what spirit day is I put a description below. Also, QAAFA will be handing out strips of purple fabric on Thursday that you can tie around your arm or put on your backpack to show your support. We'll be in Red Square from 9am-2:00pm on Thurs (or as long as supplies last). Come say hi and take a purple band!

Thanks!

SPIRIT DAY:
Millions of Americans wear purple on Spirit Day (THIS THURSDAY) as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying. Spirit Day was started in 2010 by teenager Brittany McMillan as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives. Observed annually on October 20, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple, which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag. Getting involved is easy -- participants are asked to simply "go purple" on October 20 as we work to create a world in which LGBT teens are celebrated and accepted for who they are.

QAAFA Meeting 4: Queer Issues and Voting

Hello Everyone!!

 

Meeting #4 is here! Tomorrow, from 4 to 6 in Viking Union 462A, we will be discussing Queer Issues and Voting. What do you look for in a candidate and why is this important?

In addition, we will be talking about the upcoming Mayoral Debates on campus this Thursday from 5 to 7 on the PAC Main Stage. The link below will get you started on learning a bit more about your candidates.

 

Also, don't forget to bring your planners! We will be starting to plan events and we want as many people involved as possible and if you have any ideas, we'd love to hear them!

 

And to anyone who missed last week's meeting, we were successful in deciding on a t-shirt design. Across the front will be the words "Love Sees No Gender" and the back right of the shirt will have our QAAFA logo. The two color options will be green and purple.

 

We hope to see you all there!
