Hi folks,

We need to come together in solidarity and fight for justice. Operation Help or Hush has come out of the injustice that occurred to Mike Brown a year ago. If you've been following the news it is imperative to understand that old military equipment from the Pentagon has been used in St. Louis County as it was declared a state of emergency.

I urge those that are financially stable or have established jobs to look at you income and see if there is any way you can help. Any amount is helpful and all contributions will help the cause.

**URGENT: UCSB INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FROM GAMBIA FACING LIFE IMPRISONMENT DUE TO OUTSPOKEN SUPPORT FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY ON SOCIAL MEDIA:
Alagie Jemma is an international student studying Global Studies at UCSB that greatly needs your support. Currently, he is experiencing persecution from his home country, the Republic of the Gambia in West Africa, due to his outspoken support for the LGBTQ community, most recently via Facebook. His presidential scholarship from the government of his home country has been revoked, and he is facing insurmountable debt for his tuition, unstable housing and food sources, and alienation from family and friends, all leading to daily stress and anxiety in his life. Alagie has also been told by the government of the Republic of The Gambia that if he ever returns he will be sentenced to life in prison.
Please support Alagie so that he may continue to attend UCSB as he seeks asylum during this difficult time. He remains hopeful and is endlessly grateful for the support and love he has found at UCSB. Even though he is experiencing such harsh treatment, he remains steadfast in his beliefs that LGBTQ people deserve equality, equity, love and respect in this world. He is a brave soul and a true inspiration.

Hello everyone! We're very excited to have you all on our campus this weekend. We can't believe that the conference is finally here. We've been working very hard to put together an awesome conference for all of you. We want to address a concern that has been brought up by UCSB students, staff and faculty that DIDNOT register. We have been asked if people can crash the conference or crash workshops. We had been hesitant because we are at capacity with registration. We have decided the following.
UCSB STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY THAT DIDNOT REGISTER CAN CRASH WORKSHOPS, SPEAKERS AND OTHER SPACES PROVIDED AT THE CONFERENCE. We do have some stipulations.
1). We will not be able to provide you all goody bags, programs or food.
2). Please respect closed spaces and presenters times. Please do not walk into a workshop in the middle of it. There is a conference schedule on our website and we will post an electronic version of the program.
3). Respect the capacity of each workshop. You may be turned away from a workshop if it reaches capacity. Priority will be given to those who registered on time.
If you have any questions feel free to message us here or email us at [email protected]. https://attachment.fbsbx.com/file_download.php?id=356919421167653&eid=ASsdrrmASmSwnfBj-eFLdlCaxjZFvlzeh5tZMS8PA5JfxlEZ9vATc-xO70GYwGxc71E&inline=1&ext=1430498832&hash=ASvdLObezGDBZ6DJ

Hello folks! We are still looking for people to perform at our kickoff ceremony that will take place in Isla Vista, the town adjacent to our campus. If you are a spoken word artist, comedian, singer, or any other type of performance artist email us at [email protected]. We will also allow time for open mic if you decide to perform once you attend the event.

We have officially reached capacity for registration. We will not have on site registration, we wish that we had the resources to host many more of you all but unfortunately we have limited resources. Thank you all so much for registering. We are working very hard to make this conference happen. We will see you all in 10 days.
