The Bill of Rights guarantees five core freedoms—speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition—forming the foundation of democracy. ✝️ Pray, Don’t Preach. How the separation of church and state protects personal faith and public education alike. Incitement, Threats, Defamation. Where free speech ends and real harm begins—exploring campus cases and legal limits. Daring to Publish. From underground zines to student papers, press freedom thrives when students question power. ✊ Peaceful, Not Silent. Protests, marches, and movements—the right to assemble still fuels modern activism. How We Make the Government Listen. From petitions to policy change, speaking out still moves the needle. BLISSS & Mingle. BLISSS and SG Global Programming united students for an evening of resources, community, and empowerment. ️ LGBTQ+ Tools That Work.

- BLISSS & Mingle: Networking, Resources, Bingo To Bolster ‘Success’ For FAU’s Queer CommunityDozens of students and community members came out for BLISSS' 2nd Annual BLISSS & Mingle. BLISSS (BIPOC LGBTQIA+ Individuals Seeking Safe Spaces) partnered with Student Government Global Programming to host the event in the Boca Raton Student Union on Monday, October 6. In an interview, BLISSS Vice-President Tyler Doll stated the purpose of the evening was to inform students, especially queer students, “about the resources they have available to them on and off campus.” Doll went on to elaborate that it is important for students, especially LGBTQ+ students, to be “successful.” The evening offered complimentary food and drink while students were able to network with and learn about a coalition of organizations, including nonprofits PRISM, Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center, SAVE LGBT, and student organizations Lavender Alliance, College Democrats at FAU, and OutFAU. While learning about resources, participants were given a bingo card to circulate around the room, encouraging them to learn more about each person in attendance. When asked what a perfect end of the night would look like, Doll solidified that BLISSS' goal for the night was to connect students to resources. “Just to know that at least one person has walked out of BLISSS & Mingle knowing that they have gotten some new resources that they will be using to their advantage,” said Doll.
