Her Movement Against Injustice

Hi again everyone! So in the last post- I touched briefly upon my new club, "Her Movement Against Injustice." In this post, I'm going to tell you all what it actually is. This club was started at the beginning of the school year and we've had 2 meetings since. Let me tell you- it has been crazyyy hectic trying to find a faculty advisor, talk to people who can help us get the club going, promoting, the budget, etc. The club is still in the process of getting certified, but we're making sure we make good use of the time while we wait. The founders of the club is Angela Ayed (president), Stephanie Colon (vice president), Jessica Cotto (treasurer) and me, Michelle Tsang (secretary). The group was founded through a massive amount of interest on very taboo topics. After learning that this there was no club about these topics... we created one! =]
"Her Movement Against Injustice" is an extremely powerful group. In this club- we focus on domestic violence, female genital mutilation and sex trafficking. The main goal of this club is to raise awareness. As I mentioned, these topics are very taboo and controversial and even though people may wonder.... they dont necessarily do anything to find out the facts. Our club is to raise awareness and talk about it to let people know that just because it is not talked about- it doesnt mean it doesnt exist. We will let you know what is really going on and what's happening. Some of the information that we discovered was just... wow... the girls and I were speechless at some of the facts and stories we found.
Throughout this semester- we have just been getting things together to get this club running. Sheesh.. I had no idea creating a club would be this much work! But come next semester- this club will be good to go. The girls and I have big plans for the club! We will be holding fundraisers, getting guest speakers, going to events together, etc. It's something that we are all excited about. The date of our next meeting is still uncertain- but keep an eye out for flyers around the school and check it out! I'll keep you all updated! Talk to you all soon! Byee =)
