Feminism & Firearms (UNevada-Reno lecture): Collins & Okafor
Update: 2019-10-29
Description
In 2015, students at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) went head-to-head over AB148, a bill that would have allowed students with a concealed carry permit to carry on university grounds, and would directly combat the risk of sexual assault and other crimes. However, after a faculty-sponsored rally against the legislation, the Associated Students of the University of Nevada opposed the bill and ultimately closed the decision.
But UNR students, particularly young women, are not ready to quit. Partnering with the Center for Conservative Women, an organization for conservative women on college campuses, UNR College Republicans and Nevada Young Republicans teamed up to host rape survivor and alum Amanda Collins and Second Amendment activist Antonia Okafor. The two speakers addressed the right to self-defense and UNR administration's reactionary, not proactive, attempts to make campus a safe environment.
The campus lecture was held on Thursday, October 17, 2019, from 7:30 pm-9:00 pm in the KC Wells Fargo Auditorium at the University of Nevada, Reno.
