Hey y'all, This is just a quick reminder that the PLUSH FOR ALL campaign on IndieGogo is CLOSING THIS MONDAY (3 JUNE): https://igg.me/at/plushoxford
It would be really awesome if you could donate any amount or buy merch before it closes (wear it at Pride tomorrow!!). We've also been selling the PLUSH FOR ALL stash at LGBTQ+ Tuesday drinks, if anyone would rather make a donation there.
... As it stands, we're only about 70% through our fundraising target. Almost all colleges have already given and we really need to raise the remaining funds by THIS TERM in order to get the chair lift running by Michaelmas. The LGBTQ+ Society's committee members have been working really hard all term to get this far, but we really need your help to get to the end goal.
So much heart has gone into the campaign so far, and it's awesome to be able to sport stash that's so unique to Oxford and, crucially, which supports the creation of safe and accessible spaces for LGBTQ+ people :)

PANEL: Gender policing? When nature calls, all anyone wants to do is use a toilet! Thursday 30th, 6-7 pm, New College
The New College JCR/MCR LGBTQ+ Officers will be hosting a panel/info event on gender neutral bathrooms in the New College Lecture Room 6.
... Come and find out more about why gender-neutral bathrooms are such an important safety issue, and what we can do to make New College's (and other) bathrooms a safe place for everyone to use.
Joining our discussion will be Kei Patrick (she/her), Wadham SU's Trans Rep, and Teddy (he/him), another student from Wadham, who will be sharing with us their thoughts, experiences, and concerns regarding gendered bathrooms.
This event will give us the chance to have an informed discussion before an MCR vote on neutralising all New College bathrooms later this term.
The venue is wheelchair-accessible.
Please contact Rose, Giulia or Moritz for more information about the event! giulia.bernardini@new.ox.ac.uk rose.laurie@new.ox.ac.uk moritz.reithmayr@new.ox.ac.uk

In an attempt to use our social media platforms to give back to our membership, contribute to access and outreach efforts, and help spread and create positive, nuanced and diverse images of LGBTQ+ communities and individuals, we have decided to launch Out in Oxford: an LGBTQ+ Humans of Oxford Series, a photographic social media campaign that we’ll be sharing primarily through our new instagram @oulgbtq (www.instagram.com/oulgbtq).
You can find our statement of intent and gene...ral information about the project here: https://docs.google.com/…/16C9CfA65zWKa VlyWVm1x_Ezt5g…/edit…. As well as on an instagram post dedicated to launching the initiative: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2Tlo3HYel/.
If you would like to take part, we’ll be needing a photograph and a written statement from you.
The statement should be personal, but don’t worry about it too much, we’d just love to hear about your experiences. We have some guidance available and some guiding questions on the document above, please take a look at that for some ideas. To submit a statement, please send in an email with ‘Out in Oxford’ in the subject line, and send in your name and pronouns (as well as your college and/or subject, if you are comfortable with sharing that information), as well as a short personal statement according to the guidelines above. We will then be in touch with more information and with a consent form.
We’ll also be having drop-in photo sessions starting from tomorrow at the Rad Cam, so please sign up for a sessions using the following form: https://forms.gle/AW3VkhMq9CMxeWCWA. Daisy will be in touch with you after you’ve signed up to confirm and to talk through the details. If none of the sessions are convenient for you, please email oupubl@gmail.com, and do feel free to get a head start with your statement, and we’ll try sort something out!
Please email Daisy (oupubl@gmail.com) or drop us a Facebook message here with any questions, we can’t wait to get this ball rolling!
