[OccupyCU] Occupy and Gender Barred!

[Rachel Storm]

Hey Occupy CU,

I'm bringing Eric Stanley and Chris Vargas to campus next week for Gender
Barred, a 3-day colloquium exploring gender and prisons. The Queer Reading
Group, Students at the Danville Correctional Center through EJP, and REAP
(Radical Education for Autonomous Persons) will be reading the following
excerpts in preparation for their visit! Please read these while you're
relaxing during SDaS spring break and get excited about their visit M-W of
next week! (The flyer with info is attached) *PLEASE NOTE: The
Homotopia/Criminal Queers film screening has moved to 160 English Building.*

I hope you can all make it. This promises to be a very memorable series of
events! Copies of their books (especially *Captive Genders*) will be
available at the Monday and Tuesday night events for purchase.

Warmly,
Rachel Storm
