Act Up

Monday, November 16, 2026
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
CSU Ballroom

The Women’s Center is hosting a resource fair, dinner and keynote in the Centennial Student Union Ballroom encouraging students to ACT UP: connecting their talents to your volunteer needs to take action to serve our community.

The Resource Fair begins at 6 p.m. (with a 5:30 p.m. set up time). Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. and we will be joined by keynote JP Pritchett, owner and operator of Smitten Kitten, the adult toy store receiving global recognition as a Minneapolis hub for mutual aid during Operation Metro Surge earlier this year.

The event will conclude with a few words from Zonta about the upcoming 16 Days of Activism led by UN Women. 16 Days of Activism is a global movement to end violence against women and girls that starts November 25 and goes through December 10.
