Today we were coming up with Ideas on how we can gain more members to join our weekly meetings so I'm going to do my part and use this blog!
Do you care about social justice issues? Would you like to see improvements around not only Augsburg, but the rest your community as well? Want to impress that hot hippie chick?
WELL STOP ASKING QUESTIONS AND JOIN MPIRG!!!!
Meetings every Thursday from 5:30 PM-6:30 PM inside Marshall room
Mike Gerwe, leader of Augsburg's LGBTQIA club was also there to give us all ally training which deals with how to interact with the LGBTQIA community. He told us about pronouns, stereotypes, and gender identification. Back when things were simple, people just used male and female and based it on body parts, then treated them as such (man or woman). Nowadays its more complex. People are showing more deviation form the traditional male/female categorization and instead coming up with something else to be called by. Not to mention that gender roles is starting to become less relevant.
