Hey all, it's that time again. This Thursday, September 30rd at 7pm we will be recapping International Blasphemy Rights Day and hearing out anyone who wants to say their piece. To help us unwind we will watch a bit of celebratory blasphemy (time permitting), then as usual it will be off to Murphy's.
As always, we'll be in Mechanical Engineering Building room 253.
Help get the word out!
Tonight (Wednesday), at 7PM, we need your help setting up for International Blasphemy Rights Day. If you're interested in flyering, chalking, or making posters, meet up at the Union at 7!
Bar Crawl!
ISSA will be holding a bar crawl this semester. Just give us your Name and Shirt size, Pre-order now!

We will be holding a blood drive on October 1 at the Wesley Foundation Methodist Church. If you would like to volunteer or sign up to give blood, add your name to the appropriate spreadsheet. You must sign up so that the Red Cross knows how many people they need to staff the event.

Upcoming Events:
This Week:
International Blasphemy Rights Day -- Thursday, September 30
International Blasphemy Rights Day takes place every September 30th, to commemorate the publishing of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. The purpose of this event is to set a particular day as a day to support free speech, support the right to criticize and satirize religion, and to oppose any resolutions or laws, binding or otherwise, that discourage or inhibit free speech of any kind [from Center for Inquiry]. We will have a table by the Union and various displays to mark the occasion.
