Day of Silence
This Friday, April 15, you may notice campus being a bit... silent. Pride Alliance invites you to join them for the Day of Silence, a national, student-led event to combat harassment, discrimination, and violence based on sexual orientation or gender identity. People around the nation remain silent for the entire day to represent the silence caused by homophobia, as well as the lives lost to suicide and hate crimes.
From Monday to Thursday you'll probably see Pride Alliance on the mall- don't be afraid to go up and ask some questions! You can also help create visual displays for the big day on Friday, pick up one of the new Pride Alliance T-shirts, decorate a mask to wear on Day of Silence, and tell your story through a number of crafts.
On Friday displays will be set up in Alumni Plaza and on Heritage Hill, where you can join others remaining silent for the day.
Pride Alliance will also be hosting a Raise Your Voice Photo Shoot and a Breaking of the Silence. The event is free, as well as the pizza! For more information, contact Christina Bischoff at chrismb@email.arizona.edu, or check out the pride alliance site at pride.asua.arizona.edu

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday break!
Come check out a free advanced screening of the award-winning, animated comedy series, Archer, in your very own Gallagher Theater tonight at 7pm.
Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that revolves around the spy agency known as the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and the lives of its employees. Although their work of espionage, reconnaissance missions, wiretapping and undercover surveillances is daunting, every covert operation and global crisis are actually occasions for the ISIS staff to undermine, sabotage and betray each other for personal gains, pleasures and prosperity.
Enjoy, and welcome back to school!

Queer Film Series presents 8: The Mormon Proposition
Gallagher Theater is showing "8: The Mormon Proposition" presented by Queer Film Series tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct 6. from 7pm-9pm. I'm definitely intrigued by this insight into Proposition 8.
Separation of church and state in the United States is a sacred value. It’s what keeps us from being a theocracy. Director Reed Cowan, with his fellow filmmakers, experienced first-hand what it was like to grow up gay in Utah in the Mormon faith, then turned their attention to the historic campaign by the Mormon Church to pass Proposition 8 in California believing that it was the cornerstone of an ideology that has worked for decades “to damage gay people and their causes.” The film is their emotional outcry to what they found. Sponsored by: LGBTQ Affairs, Women’s Resource Center, and ASUA’s Pride Alliance.
Also- if you get the chance, check out the "Fearless" exhibit at the Union Galleries (near the Ballroom.) I find that The Galleries are a hidden gem of the Arizona Student Union, and are a great place to pass a little time while waiting for your ride or between classes. Anyway, "Fearless" showcases the pictures and stories of hardship, struggle, and triumph, of gay, bi, and transgender student collegiate athletes from around the U.S. Pretty neat and inspiring stuff.

Celebrate Arizona with Hispanic Heritage Month
The Hispanic community in Tucson is hard to miss, but easy to forget about. In a blended society like ours, it’s great that organizations like Chicano/Hispanic Student Affairs exist to promote diversity while still celebrating and retaining culture. From September 15th to October 15th, C/HSA will host tons of events in honor of Hispanic Heritage month, most of which are right here on campus, free, and open to the public! There will be films, concerts, lectures, and even a trip with Humane Borders to pick up trash in the desert. Hispanic or not, check out all of the events C/HSA has planned over the month and celebrate Tucson!
