Today, March 1st, is International Zero Discrimination Day. Unfortunately, people are discriminated against every day based on their age, s*x, gender identity, s*xual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, language, health (including HIV) status, geographical location, economic status or migrant status, or for any other reason. Ending discrimination requires action from everyone. Today is a day to highlight how everyone can be a part of the transformation and take a stand towards a more fair and just society!
We will be holding our second meeting of the semester next Wednesday, February 14th in Hamilton 236 at 7:00pm! Don't forget to bring your friends - all majors welcome!
