Wednesday!!!
Happy Pride!
After Wednesday half of our events will be over :( But there are some goodies at the end as well!
Queer Students Alliance, American Medical Student Association, and University Democrats would like to Present:
Blood Drive for Awareness (You can blame me, Kent, for this oh-so-original title)
Come support QSA, AMSA and UDems as we advocate about these laws. We ask that if you give for those who can’t! Help us make this an amazing blood drive and help advocate for those who wish to help but aren’t legally allowed to.
One donor can easily save three lives, so please come out Wednesday April 18th and donate some blood for the greater good. An interesting fact in the US is that one restriction, that is places on homosexual males specifically, is that if someone who is male has EVER admitted to having sex with another male, they will automatically be rejected from donating
The bus should be showing up at noon, so we will get everything set up and rolling as quickly as possible. Please stop by anytime to chat and discuss what we are trying to advocate on campus!
