🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

Queer Con Workshops & Presentations

[queercon]

REGISTER NOW! Application deadline is April 18, 2016.

Queer Con is South Seattle College’s premier conference promoting the academic advancement of LGBTQIA students, celebrating queer culture and advocating for equality.

Jerry Brockey Student Center Saturday, April 30 8:00 A.M. – 8:00 P.M.

Our LGBTQIA conference has many exciting educational and fabulous workshops like Gender and Sexuality, Two-Spirit Identity, Trans 101, and more. Students will gain greater awareness of themselves, gain support from other LGBTQIA leaders, and be encouraged to go to college to successfully complete their higher education. We also intend to bring leaders in education to share ideas and strategies to increase LGBTQIA student participation in higher education and have them complete their educational goals successfully. This is important because LGBTQIA students still face discrimination, neglect and lack of support from their families, the community and the educational system.

Our lineup also includes social justice keynote speakers, the Diverse Harmony Choir, our Fabtastic Drag Show, and our Butterflies LGBTQ Art Gallery Exhibit.

This conference is open to all community members. Space is limited so please register as soon as possible

Further details can be found by following the links below. Thank you!
