This week we had a visitor from Assumption College who we'll be working with to get more cross-campus activism going on. Here's what we talked about:

Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act
We talked about the AETA and how it's an attack on Free Speech. Please call your senators and representatives and tell them to VOTE NO on the AETA (Senate Bill 3880 and House Resolution 4239). It would make protected free speech activity into felonies and terrorism charges. It's bad. Very bad. You can find out your rep's phone number here: congress.org

Busted!
We're showing Busted: A Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters next Thursday, Oct 5 @ 7PM in Kinnicut Hall

Critical Mass
Critical Mass tomorrow! Bring a bicycle and meet on the Quad at 4:30PM or at the Turtle-Boy Statue at 5:00PM.

Consortium Sweat-Free Campaign
We're going to work with students from Assumption to get sweat-shop clothing out of Worcester. Woo!

Here's the big one: Cous-cous
We're putting together coalition group to help create some unity among the different progressive student groups at the different schools in Worcester. It's called Consortium of United Students aka Cous-Cous. Our friend from Assumption is going to do some rallying over there, we're going to do some rallying at WPI and we'll get folks from Clark in on it too. Hopefully we can all come to some sort of consenus on what we can work on together.

The first meeting will be on Oct 26 @ 6:30PM at a location to be annouced

These are the groups at WPI we're going to invite (and who we're sending to invite them)

If you know any other groups or people who might be interested in working together for social change, try to get them to come or at least have them send a respresentive to the meeting.

Discussion of the "Green Scare"
We're going to try and put together a discussion of the Green Scare with GAEA. Hopefully we'll discuss the FBI witch hunts, grand juries and how the government is trying to convince us that environmental activists are terrorists.Someone will go and talk to GAEA soon to see if they're interested in co-sponsoring the event.
