Don't Ask, Don't Tell
The Policy & Its Future

Thursday, Sept 28th @ 12:15 in 120HH


All are welcome, lunch will be served (and it won't be pizza!)

Denise is a Vietnam War Veteran and spent the summer working for the Servicemembers' Legal Defense Network (SLDN). She is very familiar with the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and its effects on members of the military from her varied experiences. Come hear her perspective on the policy and efforts to overturn it.

SLDN works to end the discrimination and harassment that members of the military face as a result of the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and represents discharged service members. This policy is the only law in the United States that mandates the firing of personnel because of their sexual orientation. Over one million veterans
identify as lesbian, bisexual, or gay, and tens of thousands of active duty military fall under this policy today. More than ten thousand service members have been discharged under the policy. As JAG recruitment happens this week, come find out how YOU can be part of the growing movement to overturn this policy - whether you are interested in working for JAG or not. You will also have the opportunity to write
your Senators to urge them to sponsor legislation to overturn the policy, which has already been introduced in the House.
