Hey everyone – Just a friendly last minute reminder that producers of the documentary/webseries THE PECULIAR KIND are COMING to UNC!!
What am I even talking about?? Here’s a little snippet from their page:
TPK premiered on February 16th, 2012. Our first episode explored women’s safety with the help of Right Rides and featured “Our News” brought to you by Elixher. Since then, we’ve come a long way. We’ve done episodes on gender roles, safe sex, queers in the media, unemployment, and the experience of being queer/gay in various cultures.
The event will take place in Chapman 201 @6:00pm today. Join us for a free screening of the documentary and q&a with the producers.

Free lunch will be provided!

FSU has voted to co-sponsor this event organized by campus maintenance workers.
This Thursday April 7
9am: Join workers for an all-day sit-out in front of South Building!
12 noon: Major Rally of Workers and Students!
Join campus workers from 9am-5pm on Thursday April 7th on the steps of South Building to protest attacks on workers rights! There will be food, speakers, conversation, performances and community.
…It’s important to be there all day, or as much of the day as you can. Skip class, rearrange appointments, ask off from professors. But, if you can only make part of the day, the most important part will be from 12 noon to 1pm, when workers and students will rally and speak out to the media.
Facilities workers from around campus have decided to take vacation time and sit on the steps of South Building next Thursday to protest unfair schedule changes by management. They and other workers are courageously standing up for their rights and for a voice on the job in this time of budget cuts, tuition hikes, and other attacks on workers and students.
It’s essential that we as students support them and sit-out with them! With the climate of fear and intimidation that workers face constantly from management, it’s a risk to speak out as a worker on this campus, let alone to protest publicly. These unfair schedule changes that workers are facing are just another example of the administration trying to balance the budget on the backs of workers and students, and we’ve all got to unite to fight these attacks. As workers, they face retaliation, increased health care costs, unfair schedule changes, intimidation, and decreased benefits.
We gotta work together to fight for justice on the job and dignity in the workplace for campus workers!
