In honor of the 51st anniversary of the #Stonewall Uprising, our 4th #BlackLivesMatter action item is to recognize the trailblazers that made it happen, and remember that Pride started as an uprising led by Black trans women against the police.

This Saturday (4/13) join us for a feminist comedy show!

[UGA WSSO @wssouga]

Only 230 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police. College-aged women are even less likely to report. Join us 4/5 at @Nucisspace 6 PM as we speak out against sexual assault at our annual fundraising event, Take Back the Night.

[UGA WSSO @wssouga]

1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. Take Back the Night supports these survivors by fundraising for local advocacy groups such as @ProjectSafeInc
