This year I was one of the advocacy directors for V-day at my college. There is a lot of excitement around the Vagina Monologues performance, but often energy lags after that point. Or rather, people have a lot of energy, but no outlets for it! So we designed this publication, to be handed out at the performance, of other projects done on campus that promote sexual violence prevention. Even if you are not from Carleton we hope you are inspired by these student’s efforts to promote body sovereignty in your own community.

We also had incredible student designed  cover art that will be turned into a community art project:

Check out the whole publication!

That's a really well designed publication. I'm sure it will help sustain some post-V-day momentum for you and Carleton...kudos!

It is so great that you and HappyBodies were able to bring such a great resource to the campus community. I too have faced that problem of trying to figure out a way around keeping momentum up after a particularly exciting event or break through. It is definitely not easy so I admire your work trying to make some long term and sustainble change or at least ideas on campus.
