Last semester, Northern Kentucky University student Dennis Chaney was literally arrested for trying to distribute free condoms to students. At the freshman orientation, they told him that doing so with his student group was "against school policy", and when he refused to stop, he spent the next 12 hours in jail.

This semester, thanks to the Great American Condom Campaign (GACC), Dennis Chaney will have another chance.

Chaney was one of the 550 students selected by the GACC to be the host of a "Safe Site" on their campus. The GACC provided him with a box of 500 condoms to distribute at NKU, so that anyone who needs a condom can receive one. Chaney has already handed out condoms at New Years Eve parties on campus, and plans to hand out more at the student union once the semester starts.

But he's not alone! Last semester the GACC provided over 300,000 condoms to the 550 Safe Sites, focusing especially on campuses where condom access is limited or against school policy.

And right now we're gearing up for giving out even more during the Spring 2009 semester! The applications to be a Safe Site for this semester are up right now at the GACC page, so if you want to join in the underground grassroots movement to improve condom access for students, or know someone who would, please head on over and check it out!
