SUMMARY:Protest At The Dallas Zoo! (date is tentative)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in another protest at the Dallas Zoo! This protest will be held on the first day that the 5 young elephants recently snatched up from Africa will be unveiled to the public.  \nThese days\, zoos around the world are recognizing that they do not have the resources to properly care for a large animal that requires miles of space to roam. And we are learning more and more about the incredibly complex emotional lives of elephants and their tight family bonds. But the Dallas Zoo\, with profits in mind and a flagrant disregard for the lives of the animals\, made a quick move designed to thwart detractors and sidestep a scheduled court date. Now five more sad elephants will be relegated to spend their days in what is for them a small\, dreary enclosure\, away from their friends and family. \nIt is too late for these five – but we need to make sure they are the last elephants the Dallas Zoo steals.  \nPlease come to the Zoo with your friends and family next Sunday (but don’t go in.) We will have some signs – but any you can bring would be welcome.

SUMMARY:2016 Take Back the Night
DESCRIPTION:Take Back the Night is an event that was started in the 1970s due to sexual assault and gendered violence. Every year on the last Thursday of April\, Sexual Assault Awareness Month\, the national Shine Your Light Foundation\, formerly known as Take Back the Night (TBTN) holds a nation-wide event called 10 Points of Light to Take Back the Night. Each year they designate ten locations circling the United States to simultaneously hold a march and a vigil to show support for survivors\, and for unity in our commitment to ending sexual violence in all forms.  \nThis year\, the University of North Texas has been selected by the national TBTN organization to hold our very own 10 Points of Light! UNT’s Take Back the Night will take place during sexual assault awareness month on April 28th from 5:00-8:30pm at the Library Mall. The event will consist of a tabling fair with resources and activities\, a march around campus\, guest speakers\, giveaways\, and the overall empowerment of survivors of sexual assault. There is no cost to attend. Please participate in this event to bring awareness and education to this serious issue. To learn more about Take Back the Night\, please visit the national Take Back the Night website at takebackthenight.org \nWHAT TO BRING:\nPlease bring signs and posters with messages advocating against sexual assault. Feel free to incorporate the name of your organization into the message to express solidarity.\n—————————————-\nIf you have any questions about this event\, please email peer.advocate@unt.edu

SUMMARY:Texas Organizing Project 287(g) Teach In
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Organizing Project Criminal Justice Committee and United We Dream present a teach-in on the 287(g) immigration program that allows County Sheriffs to perform the functions of federal immigration agents (ICE) in the jails and out in the community. This program has allowed “287(g) Officers” to racially profile drivers and pedestrians\, illegally search and arrest people – violating their constitutional rights\, and conduct “sweeps” in Latino neighborhoods which has ruined the relationship between the law enforcement and Latino communities.   \nThe Harris County Jail spent nearly $50 million in a two-year period to house undocumented immigrants being held at the request of federal authorities – more inmates than any other county jail in Texas. The Federal Government only\nreimburses the county about 8 percent of its annual reported costs. Only a few deportees are violent criminals and law enforcement resources are being diverted from protecting communities. \nTOP is committed\, with community and political entities\, to ending the 287(g) program. Please join us to learn more.

SUMMARY:Trump and the System that Spawned Him
DESCRIPTION:Donald Trump has been given more media attention than any other candidate this election cycle and at times seemed unstoppable. His hateful\, bigoted rhetoric and incitement of violence have targeted the rights of people of color\, immigrants\, women\, LGBTQ people\, and the working class as a whole. Nationally\, wealth inequality is growing; racist scapegoating of Muslims\, Latinxs and immigrants is still commonplace; #BlackLivesMatter has brought attention to police brutality and mass incarceration; and more people are losing hope in the political system and its establishment. \nJoin us for a discussion where we will ask: How do we make sense of Trump’s rise? What are our options? And\, are there alternatives to both Trump and politics as usual?  \nSpeaker: Mario Ovalle\, UNT Alumn and Graduate Student in Anthropology at Hunter College. \nSponsored by: the International Socialist Organization and MUEVE

SUMMARY:Protest At The Dallas Zoo! (date is tentative)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in another protest at the Dallas Zoo! This protest will be held on the first day that the 5 young elephants recently snatched up from Africa will be unveiled to the public.  \nThese days\, zoos around the world are recognizing that they do not have the resources to properly care for a large animal that requires miles of space to roam. And we are learning more and more about the incredibly complex emotional lives of elephants and their tight family bonds. But the Dallas Zoo\, with profits in mind and a flagrant disregard for the lives of the animals\, made a quick move designed to thwart detractors and sidestep a scheduled court date. Now five more sad elephants will be relegated to spend their days in what is for them a small\, dreary enclosure\, away from their friends and family. \nIt is too late for these five – but we need to make sure they are the last elephants the Dallas Zoo steals.  \nPlease come to the Zoo with your friends and family next Sunday (but don’t go in.) We will have some signs – but any you can bring would be welcome.
