UNC Ally Visibility Week will be held this year from Monday, January 30th through Friday, February 3rd to promote ally visibility on campus and to show appreciation for those who actively support people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Throughout the week 'ally pins' will be available in the Pit and from the LGBTQ Center. We invite everyone to wear one to denote their visible support for equality. As an extra incentive to wear the button and to show our appreciation, we have worked with the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership to recruit local businesses to give discounts to patrons who are wearing the ally button during the week.
