nies the posters is "Think About It." The phrase is meant to get people thinking about these issues of discrimination as well as getting them involved in EAA's cause, according to Kaplan.
Beyond that, EAA Board Member Alexa Gutheil '96 hopes that the posters will "grab people and make [them] think," and that they will inspire students to carry their thought to action.
"You learn about it and then you do something about it," Gutheil said of EAA's hopes for the community.
The postering campaign is also intended to draw students to a planning meeting tonight at 7:30 in Adams House Upper Common Room for EAA's Annual Action Week. The week, scheduled to kick off on February 25, will include scheduled events by community organizations such as Cambridge Peace, Youth and Justice Corps and Harvard organizations such as Peace Games.
The theme of this year's Annual Action Week is "Roots of Violence." And while the themes of EAA's postering campaign--homosexuality, racism, sexism, and classism--are not the foci for Annual Action week, they are issues that are intertwined and contribute to prejudice and social injustice, EAA leaders said. Other issues addressed during the week will be hate crimes, and domestic, economic and youth violence.
EAA is a campus collective organization that works for social justice and is partially sponsored by Radcliffe College.
