SlutWalk Seattle news
Here’s the latest news on SWS!
- Our next planning meeting will be held on Sunday, May 20th. As those of you who were at the last meeting know, we tentatively decided on May 13th, but the 20th works better for the directors. As usual, agendas, minutes, times, dates, and directions can be found at slutwalkseattle.com/meetings (we won’t be sending out minutes anymore so just refer to that page from now on). Parking information has been added to that page as well.
- The deadline for applying to speak at SWS ‘12 has been extended to May 19th. The application is available here.
- We have appointed three new officers! They are:
- Kiri Ballach, Security Coordinator
- Ta Ganados, Master of Ceremonies
- Beth Nelson, Treasurer
- We’re considering coordinating a rideshare program. We probably won’t get around to this until June, but if you suspect you’ll need a ride to SWS ‘12, or you can give others a ride, send us an email at info@slutwalkseattle.com with “rideshare” in the subject line and tell us what city you live in (or neighborhood, if it’s a big city like Seattle).
- Just a reminder, as you may or may not have heard, SWS ‘12 will not be on August 4th. The permit process has been long and complicated, but presently, it looks like our route will be from Occidental Park to Westlake Park and the event will be on Sunday, September 9th. We’re just a week or two away from securing permits and 501(c)(4) status so things will be really taking off very soon!
