_____________
“Our Monologues” is a production featuring the real stories of students at UC Berkeley. We are a student org sponsored by the Gender Equity Resource Center.
The show welcomes all students to participate so long as they are committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space– with a prioritization of BIPOC femme, nonbinary, woman,* transgender, differently-abled, and queer students and allies as well as their relationships to gender, race, sexuality, and other intersections of their identity. Our mission is to end gender-based violence and promote gender equity on our campus and in our world. All proceeds of the show go to organizations around the Bay Area that align with our values.
*We welcome all who experience life through the lens of woman in body, spirit, identity- past, present, future, and fluid.
