Clothesline Project - [ link ]
The Clothesline Project, sponsored on campus by the Women's Caucus "is a visual display that bears witness to the violence against women. During the public display, a clothesline is hung with shirts. Each shirt is decoracted to reporesent a particular women's experience, by the survivor herself or by someone who cares about her."

Upcoming Events
Monday, October 18: General Meeting, 9 p.m., Ruth Merrill Center

Getting ready for Love Your Body Day! We're making pins that say "I love my body" (and decorated) that we hope to get lots of people to wear on the 20th. We're also making pink ribbons (Oct. is Breast Cancer Awareness Month). We're also making a banner that says "I Love My Body" or something like that at the top.

Wednesday, October 20: Love Your Body Day!

We'll be tabling 10-5 in Wilson Commons to get more people to make pins and take ribbons and sign the banner. Then we have banner spaced reserved for the next week to hang it up in Wilson Commons. We're hoping to get some prominent women on campus (Jody Asbury is what we thought of first, maybe Nora Bredes, any other profs we can etc) to sign it, too, and wear buttons or ribbons.

Monday, October 25: Exec Board Meeting, 9 p.m., WC 122

This is the tentative date for our SAFE training. Please come if you can! We’ll e-mail reminders.

We'll be showing "Iron-Jawed Angels," an HBO movie about women suffragists that was suppose to be very good. Time, location, etc. TBA. Watch for updates.

Monday, November 1: General Meeting, 9 p.m., Ruth Merrill Center
