November means turkey month and at BOAA that means we recognize the extreme losses of life that this month commemorates. In order to advocate for a more compassionate unthanksliving dinner this year (and stand in solidarity for the genocide of native american peoples that colonialization has meant), we'll be passing out free samples of vegan food on campus. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help cook in the morning, transport the foods, and man the table from 10 - 2. Email me at amman...@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out.
