Activism: This past week Rebecca recently let us know that we will be "breaking" the silence of Day of Silence by rallying for Gender identity and Expression Equality. The rally and events will be happening on April 16th. Since we pretty much had done all the tabling, all that was left was the final editing on the video that Jen had made, in which she had to be play the role of being a transgender woman. I havent seen the video yet but im pretty sure Jen did a great job putting it together and making the video very powerful to let everyone know that transgenders need to be treated equally as everyone else.

Reflection: During one of our *class discussion*, we were talking about identity and how women are identify or the myths about how people view feminist, well in this class discussion our group stood up to talk about our project and getting signatures, after we had explain our cause and what we were trying to do there was one person who instead of just not sign it or passing the paper a long they pretty much made a disgusting look and didnt even glance at it. This type of thing is what makes me frustrated because as a group we explain the cause of our project and still people are not respectful or at least try to be a little more open minded.

Reciprocity: This week I was excited that we are getting everything ready for the big day when we are rallying for this cause and also that when this is all over im going to leave with a satisfaction that we as a group fought for something and if we dont get what we want at least we can say we really did try our hard to work for this cause
