Join ALPFA-UMD as we hold virtual elections for our Fall 2022 executive board! No experience is necessary. Make an impact on the Latinx community at Smith and UMD! Our application will become available on our linktree.

In response to the wave of recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that has been launched in states such as Florida, Texas, and other southern states, the UMD community will come together to “Say Gay” together. These legislative bills, known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bills, aim to incriminate youth in schools by restricting discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation. The UMD community stands in opposition to these sentiments, and we plan to “Say Gay” as proudly as ever.
