[Top of Scene 2]

Hi Everyone.

KATIE: Yes indeedy!

Are you gonna do it like that?

KATIE: I’m not gonna do it like that.

Good.

AMY: We are SECTS!

S*x?

AMY: SECTS. Students Empowered to Confront and Transform Sexism

Um when did we come up with that?

KATIE: Yeah but calling ourselves SECTS feels a little…

Keep going.

TRACY: Great. So we are the Survivor Support Group and we work with the Men’s Peer Education group on three things.

And then you’ll hit go on the projector.

TRACY: And then I’ll hit go on the projector

And then you’ll say

AMY: Within the next five years.

Let’s not share that part publicly.

TRACY: Don’t you think it will seem a little cocky?

Essentially unrealistic?

KATIE: But we are actually making a plan to do that.

But we want them to take us seriously.

AMY: You sir, have been convicted of rape. And we’re going to through you in prison. For a long, long time!

Oh my god.

AMY: Sir, you gotta cut that out—no rape allowed in prison either!

Okay no.

KATIE and AMY: The Big Bad PATRIARCHY.

The policeman character is offensive.

KATIE: That wasn’t the end.

Police and prisons are real things in people’s lives—it’s a fucked system, we shouldn’t laugh at it.

AMY: I’m concerned about how long it’s taking us to get to the meat of the thing.

I hate it when you use that metaphor. Meat.

TRACY: I think we have the perfect mix of humor and real talk.

People need to be able to take the raw truth of what we’re doing.

TRACY: Seriously? South View?

What we do isn’t glamorous. It’s not for everyone. You have to really believe in sh*t to show up to our meetings. We’re not just like a resume booster for the wanna-be non-profit executives.

AMY: But we want people to actually SHOW UP.

Well that’s what this presentation is for! If we ever finish it.

KATIE: I thought it was for the administration. Like if we don’t do it they’re gonna take away our group status or something.

Well yeah it’s dual purpose.

TRACY: They, uh, they said that in order to keep getting funding and reserving a room and all that, we have to make a presentation for prospective students’ weekend.

Something about “giving back” to the community.

KATIE: Just us.

They don’t really believe we’re doing anything? Maybe?

KATIE: What?

I only write riot grrl angry feminist songs. You know that.

KATIE: You had that one kind of quiet sweet one.

About all the men in the world dying?

AMY: Yeah no.

I’m not really willing to dumb down my voice for this.

KATIE: I guess we’ll… come back to this?

Our presentation is in three weeks.

KATIE: YES TODAY TOO!

Three…two…one…JUSTICE!
