Question about the Rights and Responsibilities of being an Unity Club and Whether We Want to be one
We had a discussion about the positives and negatives of becoming a Unity club, right now it looks like we would prefer not to be an official Unity Club, but still retaining strong contacts with other Unity Clubs. We will be voting on this next week, so come vote!
Facilitation
We want to continue our tradition of having open discussions on women, gender, sex, sexuality and feminism during our meetings after we have finished all our business. In order to make this an easier process, we'll look into having everybody go through some facilitation training, so that we can have productive discussions. If you want to get a head start on learning about facilitation, go here:
Love Your Body Week
Committees need to start meeting!!!! Here are the committees, please contact everyone in your committee:
Make a banner: says you're beautiful, incorporates bodies as letters
Laura, Kristina and Claribel will work on the banner
Nutrition and Health Information: Lindsey will work on this issue
Information on Loving Your Body: Rachel and Ashley will work on this issue
Movie Night: Ashley and Angelica
Collage: Rachel, Laura, Yalidy, Heather will work on this
Future Project?: Birth Control Availability
Birth Control prices have gone up because of a change in US tax laws that no longer exempts colleges from certain protections for selling Birth Control at affordable prices. At Connecticut College the price has jumped $10 this year from $15 to $25.
There is a national campaign to make Birth Control more affordable. Connecticut Senator Dodd is on a health committee that will make influential decisions about this, so he needs to be pressured. Planned Parenthood is launching a petition and letter writing campaign, which we should support and work on.
Announcements:
Self Defense Classes:
ConnColl will be offering Self-Defense Classes in November at a very low price. They will be three classes, Nov. 3rd, Nov. 10th, Nov. 17th Contact Angelica for more information.
