International Pronouns Day
2022-10-19 08:00 - 16:00 (America/Winnipeg)
“We endorse International Pronouns Day, which seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender nonconforming people. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities. We encourage colleges, schools, workplaces, and local organizations to hold educational and empowering events on International Pronouns Day.” – https://pronounsday.org/faqs
Pronoun pins will be available in the ACCSA office in room 413 at the Victoria Avenue East Campus.
