[plug] Best Week Ever List of Events

On Tuesday, March 14 we have the opportunity to find the activist within ourselves with two events:

11:00am - 2:00pm, Queers at Play, Central Campus Diag Join the LGBT Commission for some "regular" things, like frisbee, cards and just hanging out. The point: LGBT and Queer people have the same interests, but we continue to lose rights. Join us in solidarity.

Then,
6:30pm, Everyday Activism, Pendleton Room, 2nd Floor, Michigan Union.
