Candlelight March to End Hate Violence    6:00 pm

The march begins outside of CWP (in the Rotunda if it is raining... bring umbrellas!). The march will go through Redstone campus, down to Patrick Gym, past Harris Millis and MAT and through Living Learning. We will cross the street through the underpass, cross the green, pass Bailey/Howe and the bookstore. The March ends in a circle on the cross on the Campus Green in front of the Royall Tyler where we will share thoughts about ending hate violence. The march will be co-lead by our new Campus Minister, Lee Alison Crawford, Dorothea Brauer, our new LGBT Services Coordinator and Clark Sheldon, President of Free to Be GLBTA.
Marchers with tickets to the Laramie Project will then attend the play.

Climbing the Mountain: Social Change and Myths about Disability
Memorial Lounge, Waterman     3:00 to 4:30 pm

A talk by Eli Clare, author of Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation. Using story and theory, Eli Clare will explore some myths and stereotypes about disability, disability's connection to other kinds of marginalization based on race, class, gender, and sexuality, and how we can create social change. Eli will offer an intellectually rich and eye-opening perspective on disability issues that truly shed light on complex-and under-examined-dynamics of our culture and society and may very well change the way participants view disability for the rest of their lives.

A joint project of LGBT Services and Deaf and Disability Awareness Month.
