Four weeks to First Amendment Day!
That's right, FAD 2012 is April 12, just four short weeks from today. Here's a sampling of what we're working on:
Advertising: Keep an eye out for some thought-provoking statements around campus soon.
Finalizing the schedule: Most things have been pinned down, and final tweaks are being made to locations and topics.
Seeking student involvement: We're looking for people to march with us, #occupyisu, set up booths at the Feast and generally be awesome and share our First Amendment love. Contact us if you want to know more.
And some things you can do to get ready:
Show your support by joining the event on Facebook. Find that "Invite Friends" button and use it.
Keep an eye out for T-shirt sales, coming soon. (Anyone who took 202 with Bulla knows what a big deal this is.)
We're pumped, and hopefully you are too -- see you in four weeks!
Be sure to grab the latest issue of Uhuru Magazine, on campus now! This edition features articles dealing with issues of freedom — including SOPA, flag burning, free speech and slander, stereotypes of Islam in America and an article on First Amendment Day. Plus, that stunning cover photo!
We so excited. Check it out!
