Dear UIS Community,
Last fall two young men were assaulted on the UIS campus; a place where many of us live, learn, work, and socialize. We all had different reactions to this act of violence but on the night of October 4, 2010 many of us decided to act in unity by attending the Rally Against H8.
Members of the UIS and Springfield community stood united against violence and hatred on the quad holding candles and chanting. For weeks after the rally many wore “Stop the H8” buttons and talked about how great it felt to be part of the event, eventually this energy faded.
We are asking you to come together to re-create the sense of unity we felt that night, but this time we are not only asking you to unify for one night, we are asking for a commitment to unify against H8 everyday.
On October 18, 2010 at 9:30pm we will gather on the quad once again to commemorate the first rally and to recommit ourselves to creating a united UIS community.
