What: A forum on GENDA, the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act. GENDA would add gender identity and expression to the list of protected classes in the state's existing Human Rights Law. It would protect transgender individuals and those who don’t fit the stereotyped norm of gender, like a feminine man or masculine woman, from being denied or fired from a job, harassed in the workplace, evicted by their landlords, refused service in a restaurant, given inadequate medical care and otherwise treated as second-class citizens solely because of their gender identity and expression. | ||

Get the flier! Forty years ago, students at Columbia University and throughout the United States brought major universities to a standstill with massive student protests and strikes that drew world attention to causes such as racism, war and injustice. Since then, student activists have looked back at the events of 1968 to draw inspiration and learn lessons from their predecessors. What is the role of students in a national or global movement for justice? Was the student movement of the 1960s ultimately successful? How do today’s student activists work to address wrongs of the government and their institutions? | ||
