TWLOHA UChapters Tour

I talked about the organization To Write Love on Her Arms in my class presentation, and I just wanted to post a few things to expand on some of the things we talked about.

I talked a little about the UChapters that are developing, but I wanted to post a video about the UChapters tour. This tour is an attempt to celebrate and support the UChapters and bring the message and mission of TWLOHA to college and university campuses. Evenings of "Lyrics and Conversation" take place when the TWLOHA reps stop at each campus, and they post videos about the chapters as well.

Here is a short video about the tour as a whole:


They mention in this video one example of how TWLOHA actually helps those who have issues with depression. The university chapters act as a support for students and a link between students and the places of help, especially counseling services on campus. This is one way that TWLOHA connects people with help, and they also work to educate everyone about depression issues and when to help loved ones find help.

Do you think these "Lyrics and Conversation" nights are a form of activist media? What other events could be considered activist media, if any?
