Just wanted to let everyone know that I've been sort of off the radar in the past few weeks because I am a chief co-coordinator for SlutWalk Chicago, an awesome event about sexual assault awareness and victim blaming that you should come to if you live in the Illinois area. Planning takes up a lot of my time lately, which I am totally psyched about, because I have met 192192380 great people in the process.
Anyway, I'll write a post soon, but just wanted to link y'all to some more info:
Huffington Post article about SlutWalks in general
SlutWalk Chicago Website
SlutWalk Chicago Twitter
SlutWalk Chicago Facebook
Let me know if you plan on coming! I'd love to meet some of you!
Woot! I was part of the walk in Ottawa. Good times, good speakers, learned a lot. Expect mainstream media to critique it as "useless" and goofs to say thinks like "moar liek nutwalk amirite?!"
ReplyDeleteWe need one of these in Seattle! I would love that.

ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea you were one of the people behind this! My name is Miriam and I go to Northwestern, where I'm part of a student group called SHAPE (Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators). A bunch of us will probably be there. :)
