Internship Opportunity: Internship with The Line Campaign available!

Internship with The Line Campaign available!

Into film? Interested in ending violence against women? Looking for an internship?

The Line Campaign seeks an Outreach/Marketing intern. For more information, contact: thelinemovie@gmail.com

What is The Line Campaign? From their website:

"THE LINE is a film that explores the intersection of sexual identity, power and violence. How do we negotiate our boundaries as sexually liberated women? How much are we desensitized to sexual violence? Through conversations with football players, educators, survivors of violence, prostitutes, and attorneys, this personal film explores the “grey area” and the elusive line of consent."

RALLY AGAINST MONSERRATE THIS SATURDAY

Hey Guys!
 
This Saturday there is going to be a rally against Sen. Monseratte's voting on the marriage bill that was in the New York Senate. The fight for equality ISN'T over, is so far from it! Even if the bill failed, it's our duty to show that the ruling was not popular sentiment. We are NOT second class citizen and we deserve full rights. So JOIN us, and come out to protest Monserrate. Invite everyone you know, even straight alliances. It's important to know that this is not just a queer issue, this is natural right issue.
 
March to Sen. Monserrate's office 

Join religious leaders, community leaders and friends and neighbors to show your support for LGBT rights.
We need everyone to join us not just LGBT people. Please consider coming. 

Date: Saturday, December 12, 2009 

Time: 3:00 PM

Place: Assemble in front of Make The Road NY, 92 Street and Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights, Queens. March to Sen. Monserrate's office - Northern Boulevard and Junction Boulevard. 


EVERYONE IS INVITED AND NEEDED. SPEAK OUT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL PEOPLE. WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TREATED AS SECOND CLASS. DEMAND FAIR TREATMENT FOR ALL PEOPLE.

New Program for Student Activists

Activist Boot Camp
A New, Free Program Offered by Planned Parenthood of New York City

Planned Parenthood of New York City is launching a new activist program that some of the members of your student organization might be interested in.

The program is called Activist Boot Camp and it trains students how to become effective activists for the reproductive rights movement. It is completely free of charge and we come to you to conduct the trainings. You simply provide 15-30 people and the space for the trainings to take place in.

These trainings are specifically for the reproductive rights movement, but touch on many points that are helpful for any activist work you might be interested in such as: recruiting and retaining new group members, organizing successful advocacy campaigns and confidently talking about tricky topics.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in or you want more information, you can email me, Camille Hartmann, at Camille.hartmann@ppnyc.org or Melissa Lee at Melissa.lee@ppnyc.org .

Also - if you know of any other students or organizations that would be interested in our boot camps, feel free to pass the information along.

We are happy to send you hard copies of the flier if helpful.

Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!
