Wednesday's Meeting

For those of you who haven't been reading your emails...

Wednesday's big highlights were falafel AND the inclusion of 3 boys (excuse me, men) into our meeting!

Duncan, from Students Creating Radical Change stopped by to talk about some of their work on getting more disclosure from NYU, specifically on budgetary issues! This affects all of us to the tune of many, many dollars, but also because of possible serious gendered discrepancies on salary! He's going to keep us updated on further events, but for all those interested in demanding more knowledge about the allocation of their tuition dollars, who would like to attend a meeting, they meet Tuesdays, at 7:15, in Kimmel, sooomewhere on the 8th floor.

Also, Chris, from College Democrats came in to record some people's thoughts about Hillary and the reasons why they support her. Liz, Julie, and Rachel all made brief videos, so look for a link to those very soon!

This Saturday is a day long Teach-In at Kimmel about our civil liberties and the ways in which many of them are being taken away. It's optional (of course), and people can stay as long as they want! A few people are interested in going, so keep your eyes open for more information on that as well!

Annnd, brief NOW/FilmAid film week update: We officially have one night reserved in Silver! Diana is working on getting us more! Collaboration with FilmAid is being worked on, and as soon as we have more dates secured, we can seriously get down to work on making this happen, and making this an event for all of us to be super proud of!

But don't forget! March is Women's Herstory Month! So, let's do something fun! It can even be something that's just for us! What do YOU want to do?! We'll hear some ideas on Tuesday ( I hope!).

Finally! Next week is a Tuesday meeting! I can't wait to have a reunion with our busy-on-Wednesday-nighters. Tuesday meetings are at 8 in the lobby, but there's a really interesting discussion at Think Coffee (on Mercer right below W. 4th) about women's bodies and their rights at 7 pm! So, the plan for right now is to meet there at 7, and, if it's too crazy, head over to Kimmel for our meeting at 8. If you can't make it at 7, give Liz a call around 8 to see if we'll be at Think or at our normal position in the 9th floor lobby.

Keep checking the website and your email for more fun and exciting things!
