So you're interested in what could potentially happen with this organization? Perfect. In this stage, while there are still MANY kinks being worked out, the most important thing that we need is opinions and ideas.
I've talked to many people already, and there have been suggestions of different lingering oppressions that we could work on getting rid of. One of the suggestions was about same-sex couples not being allowed to attend High School dances. We've always heard talk of this, and we always oppose it, but this suggestion is one of the many things we need to stand up against.
While SYFC is by no means limited to LGBT rights, there are always the options of grander things such as gay marriage in Oregon. We can absolutely start out small with this, but in the grand scheme of things, I don't care how cliche it sounds, this organization is to make a difference.
More options are undocumented citizen's right to college, ending racism in Salem, ending gender discrimination projects, etc. So what I need everyone to do now is pitch in your ideas; where would you like to see SYFC go?
Currently I am working on a presentation, and I need volunteers to help with all parts. Today on Facebook I asked whether or not one would come to a sort of... kick off meeting. If you have Facebook, reply! If you do not, reply here or email us at SalemYouthForChange@Gmail.com
Thanks,
Sydney Agee
