So much going on and so many ways to get involved!

Hi everyone! =) So far the Amnesty International at Trinity have been extremely busy organizing and conducting events and it has been an extremely interesting past few weeks!
Pizzapalooza was an event that was a great success! Lots of people showed up enjoyed the pizza and we raised some money which was fantastic. It definitely helps us spread ward around campus of who we are and what we do.
El Groupo Yuyachkani is a fantastic and internationally renowned theatre troupe from Peru that does human rights-themed work and they came to Hartford this week! The troupe was absolutely amazing and put on a lovely show!
A third and extremely important event that the Amnesty is a part of with EROS and are collaborating a Day of Remembrance for the seven LGBTQ related suicides that happened within the last few weeks. To remember these seven people, we would like to drape seven sites on campus with black cloth to represent mourning. The draping will take place tonight (Tuesday) at 9:30 pm and we will meet at the Community Service Office. Please bring empty water bottles with you! We will fill them and use them to weigh down the tablecloths that we are using to drape. Also if anyone has any duct tape or string, please bring that too! Hope to see you all tonight!
