No Name Calling Week

Name: Sophia Gregoire

Social Justice Group: 2018-2019, LGBTQIA Youth & Coming Out

Date of Fieldwork: January 17, 2019

Name of Organization: LREI

Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: me

Type of Fieldwork: Direct Action

What I did:

We did a presentation in front of the middle school about no name calling week, which is a week organized by GLESN that is a week deticated to no name calling, mostly focused around homophobic slurs. After our presentation we showed a video by GLESN about bringing people up instead of putting them down.

What I learned:

We didn’t really learn much about our topic but we did learn how to properly prepare for a presentation in front of a large group of people.

What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:

We didn’t really learn a lot because it was us presenting
