Commission for Marginalized Genders - (No Openings)
The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders (also known as CMG) is an educator about and an advocate for women, non-binary, and trans* rights, with a commitment to representing and improving the status of women, non-binary, and trans* folks on campus and in the community. The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders is working toward becoming a diverse group of members reflecting the different voices of the campus and community.
The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders must constantly redefine itself if it is going to actively try to recognize how women’s, non-binary, and trans* issues function within the intersections of race, class, age, sexual orientation, religion, culture and physical and mental ability. Recognizing this means that we acknowledge that one group can never represent the voices of all women, non-binary, and trans* across these intersections. Therefore, we must look beyond the Commission for Marginalized Genders and into the campus and community. Lastly, as a Board and as a Commission, to carry on the events of the Annual Womxn Unite Banquet.
