State, Not Hate: Ally Rally on the Brickyard
Thursday, Oct 20, 2011
1:00 pm  

In response to the recent vandalism at the GLBT Center, the campus community is coming together to show support as allies and members of the GLBT community. Come out and get a purple ally wristband to show solidarity on campus. We have 1100 wristbands and would like to give them all out, so bring all your friends! The organizers are asking everyone to wear red on Thursday to show support. When it comes down to the heart of it we really are one Wolfpack nation and let's show it by wearing our color! Faculty and staff are encouraged to come to the rally and also to encourage their students to attend as well.
