Queers Read This!

Hi there fellow non cis-hets (and allies too)! I know, it’s been a while. I hope you missed us cuz we missed you dearly! But we’re back from our sabbatical and deep into the heart of the busy school year. As you all know, we just came back from our conference in Portland, Oregon last week! We had such an amazing time and can’t wait to share it with y’all!! Also if this email looks bad, it's because CCC just absolutely butchered their email builder (I can't rn 😭😭)

Coming Up

    We will not have a GMM this week but we will return on Wednesday, October 30th for our General Member Meeting (GMM), from 7-8 pm (Location TBD). We’ll have more details later on, but since it is Hallow-eve, we’ll definitely have something really fun planned (queer movie night, with candy perhaps, costumes as well????). Hope to see you there!
