Supporter of the week; UM Women's Resource Center

Hey, team--

In case you haven't noticed, the incredible 703 volunteers, together with several local businesses and organizations, have been painting Missoula black and green for equality.

One particular University of Montana organization has been setting us up for success by providing space, tables, and support in a big way. Honestly, we would be 100+ signatures less without their help and they deserve so much more than a shout-out;

The amazing individuals of the UM Women's Resource Center do a lot with the University of Montana campus and community, including;

Want to know something we love the most about these events? Nearly all of them are educational, support, advocacy, or fundraising for another organization dedicated to all the above. 

Guess what else? They do all of this with 2-3, part-time, student employees.

Call to Action Day!

MISSOULIANS--

Are you excited for FIRST FRIDAY? You should be. You can check out all of the sweet happenin's on their blog here.

We're particularly excited about The Loft's  (119 Main Street, the door up is right next to the Downtown Dance Collective) exhibit of Wanderlust Artistry "Empowering Women and Honoring their Spirits."

Guess what?

We'll be there. Talking to all of you. Actually, we'll be all over downtown that night and we need a gaggle of equality-loving volunteers to help us out.

It'll be super simple! Between the hours of 5-8pm, can you spare a half hour to help us spread the word about the change to policy 703. You could also just come see us at Liquid Planet, too. But, we'd love to  swag you out ;)
