Group Meeting 3

Group Meeting 3
On September 23rd, our group met and discussed the following:

• Mary reported that she had not heard back from our contact, Steven, at Pride and agreed to call him again and let him know we are on board to work with him and begin the process. 
• As a group, we discussed the idea of doing the Social Movement paper on the LGBT population. Mary and Jessica had decided to choose this as a topic. We agreed that utilizing some of the articles/research being done for this assignment could correlate with our Social Change Project. 
• We discussed resources, including the movies Before Stonewall, and After Stonewall, that could be helpful for us. 

Group Meeting 1 (Sept 9)

On Sept 9 we met as a group to discuss various contacts we had within the LGBTQIA community. Mary mentioned having a contact with a Kink group that also had polyamory ties that we could maybe work with. Karl spoke about the Pride Center and the LGBTQIA group on campus. I (Kilei) talked about the therapist contact I have who works with teens and adolescents who identify as LGBTQIA or are questioning whether or not they may be LGBTQIA.

We also talked about what types of projects we may like to do for our project however it was determined that it was too soon to effectively have that discussion when we had not finalized an organization to work with yet.

Group assignments were given out to continue communications with our contacts and determine if each contact/organization had the capacity to allow us to meet the requirements for the Social Change Effort Project assignment.

Group members in attendance were: Karl, Mary, Jessica, and Kilei
