Alex Muwu Li, LGBT Activist, 22
When Alex Muwu Li was three years old her parents left their fishing town in The People’s Republic of China to start a new life in New York City. Six years later, at the age of 9 Alex hopped on a plane, landed at JFK at 7am and has lived here ever since.

Constitution Changes at Tuesday’s Meeting
Hello MYD Members! At our January meeting we have the ability to make a few changes to the MYD Constitution. The Executive Board has worked together to craft the following changes that we feel help clarify certain aspects of MYD. To summarize: – Voting Policy: We are adding two subsections under Article III; Section II of the Constitution. First, we want to make sure no past MYD board member takes advantage of the MYD mailing list for campaigning purposes. Second, we are outlining the election procedure so there will be no confusion in the case of contested elections. – IOC Chairs: In Article VII; Section I of the by-laws we are stating that IOC chairs are elected by members of … More >>
