January General Member Meeting

WE NEED YOUR HELP! It is time for ACTION!
Here’s the plan:
A) Meet at the top of Bascom Hill at NOON on Wednesday, November 10th. (Rain location – Memorial Union Theater.)
B) Get filmed while representing statistics that show how LGBTQ people are affected by bullying and homophobia (example: more than half of all LGBT identified people hide their sexual orientation or gender identity to avoid intimidation—half the students walk out of the shot).
C) Disperse with a sense of accomplishment.
The more people the more the impact. (We are hoping for hundreds.) PLEASE come!
This will not take long (15-20 min.). Show up, join the crowd and be filmed.
For Students: Please tell all of your friends to join this (even if you can’t).
For Staff: Please ask colleagues in your department to join this (even if you can’t).
For Faculty: Please encourage your students to attend this (even more so if you have a class ending at 11:50 a.m.).
For Faculty Chairs: Please send this to faculty in your department.
For Community Members: Please tell others in your organization or people you know to join in.
Help us Stop the Silence and take a stand against homophobia.
