The MHRM: Jesse Velay-Vitow "From Advocacy to Activism"

"With the growth of our community and an increase in numbers it affords us an opportunity to be more public and bolder with our advocacy work. But translating our convictions into action is not always easy; I myself struggle with this. Sometimes I worry about how the people around me will react. But someone who has inspired me to dare to speak my mind more often is our presenter today. Aside from being a physics major at SFU, and President of SFUAMB, he is a sharp logician. Most importantly he does not allow the fear of social disapproval to silence him. He does not freeze in the fight of ideas; he walks toward the fire."
