We've been busy reaching out to students, staff, and faculty in the DC Metro area to encourage them to participate. This week, members of the campus team visited the University of the District of Columbia, George Washington University, and Trinity University, and contacted the Montgomery College Women's Studies program.

There is a lot of activism and leadership on these campuses, and on campuses throughout DC. We'll return to UDC next week to table and encourage the student body to get involved. They've been a great host, and we're looking forward to showcasing this campus to young feminists and seasoned leaders from all around the country.

Keep up the fabulous feminist work on your campuses and communities. Thanks and we hope to see you in DC for the conference!
