EPIC Video Premiere | Night of Noise | 1st Annual Bowl-a-thon:
"Dear 40-Year-Old Me" | An EPIC Premiere
The Alliance is excited to premiere its new video featuring Alliance Youth Committee members and other youth involved with our work. We hope this video inspires you to get involved in making schools better places for ALL youth, especially those that are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.
Some immediate actions you can take today:
1) Like us on Facebook & sign-up for our e-newsletter here to stay up-to-date on our work!
2) Donate today and help support the mission and vision of the Alliance!
3) Download, print and hang proudly the latest in a series of Alliance posters!
We believe the personal journeys highlighted in the video will spark change and promote understanding in all who view it. Please take a second and share it with your colleagues, friends, and family in Illinois and elsewhere.
We’d also like to thank the youth who shared their stories in the video, as well as EPIC and their volunteer Rally members, which generously donated time and resources to produce it. The video credits can be found here.__________________________________________________________________________
