Activism

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 9:34am

For those of you who attend our weekly meetings, you know that we discussed the various forms that activism takes on - ranging from voting, to petition signing, to internships, and even movies and music.


While it's hard to get my hands on a lot of resources for activists who concentrate their efforts into movies and music, I do have a great deal of resources for everyone else (Sorry, arty activists! You guys are just so hard to find stuff for!).



So here are some recent petitions and links to a couple well known organizations from both sides of the activism spectrum.

About PRIDE

PRIDE was established on campus in 1986 as the Gay and Lesbian Association to meet the needs of the LGBTIQA community. PRIDE is a UNCW student organization dedicated to the recognition of students, faculty, and staff who have individual and unique personalities and would like to discuss current social issues. We primarily deal with issues concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and allied (LGBTIQA) communities.

For our community members who identify as such, we are an open safe-haven, resource center, and activist organization. And we really like to talk!

We whole-heartedly believe in the power of words. And while all of our members are not as outspoken as others, we encourage the presence of all members at events so that we may all learn something from others.
