Hello!
This month has been very eventful for the Social Justice
LLC! I’m RA Bri, and my co-RA, RA Andee, and I are super excited to be in the
Social Justice LLC this semester! We had lots of fun activities planned for the
first few weeks. First, we planned an event to refresh what the term “social
justice” meant to everyone on the floor. The residents had a great conversation
before moving on to the next part of the activity, making identity buttons!
While getting crafty and eating some pizza, the residents all got to talk about
their own identities (pronouns, genders, etc.). This was a great opportunity
for the house to all come together and have meaningful discussions after a nice
winter break.
Around Valentine’s Day, RA Andee and I organized a
Valentine’s Day themed event. We lead a discussion about age and generation
diversity, and the residents made over 50 valentines for a local assisted
living center. This was another great event to get everyone in the holiday mood
and make a difference in the Milwaukee area.
To round off the month, many of the residents of the LLC
went to or volunteered at the UWM Drag Show, a hugely attended off campus event
put on by the LGBT Resource Center and other school organizations. It was great
to see so many residents have a great time at such a fun event! After such a
fantastic night, the energy is great in the house, and the residents are ready
for a semester full of activities and events in the LLC and on campus!
