So much is happening!!
...And we want you to be a part of it. Upcoming Events are listed down below, but here's the biggest Ladle news:
We're eyeing Sexton... our Sexton Coordinator (who is a Sexton student btw) and our Sexton committee need to hear the voices of Sexton students. What do you need from The Loaded Ladle on your campus? Please inform our process as we get ready to hopefully, lay down some roots!
We signed the historic declaration to divest from policing and prisons. Read it here, and if you believe too, you can sign it too!
We're serving 70+ people between 12:00 and 1:30 Tuesday through Friday! Please make sure you line up super responsibly so we are safe and don't get into trouble. We're going to need some help... there's still 8 volunteer shifts up for grabs next week!

"My gender is not up for debate by others."
"I carry my experiences with me, and that's okay."
