Come make your voices heard!!

Students for Housing Equality at Yale invite you to our Sleep-In this Tuesday night to protest the University's failure to provide gender-neutral housing this year. The protest will begin at 10 pm and continue until the following morning on Wednesday. Cross campus will be our base for passing out flyers and educational materials about what gender neutral housing is, why it is important, and what you can do about it.

The Sleep In is part of a larger process of ensuring our voices are heard during the fight for housing equality. The failure of the administration specifically affects the LGBT community, and that discrimination is unacceptable. We look forward to your help and support!

Best,
Rachel Schiff
LGBT Coop Co-Coordinator

tents and hot drinks will be provided.

Please send this poll around to all, so we know how many people we'll have at any given time. Feel free to show up in the morning or wednesday afternoon to hand out flyers and otherwise protest even if you aren't sleeping.

if you're going to be outside at night for any significant period of time you really need to be prepare. It is going to be very cold.

In general, wear loose fitting clothing as an outer layer, since warm air will insulate you

You definitely need:
snowproof boots
at least 1 (if not 2) pairs of thick, wool, NOT COTTON socks
multiple layers of pants:
this can include snow pants, under armor/long underwear, sweatpants
something you can be outside of the tent in, and at least long underwear and/or heavy duty sweatpants to sleep in
multiple layers of shirts:
underarmour/long underwear next to skin is better than cotton. Fleeces, down, extra sweatshirts
Jackets: the warmer the better
HAT:
you will need to sleep in a hat, it needs to be warm, and it needs to cover your ears
gloves, scarves, etc. the warmer, more waterproof, and more plentiful the better
A SLEEPING BAG:
we're trying to collect gear for people, but please try to round up your own (or extra) outdoor gear.
email me and let me know what you have and what you need
and you can either call me (917-374-2745) to get me stuff
or leave stuff in the women's center (with your name on it please)

Also bring: tarps, handwarmers if you have them and extra blankets, sleeping pads, etc. things you think would help
