-OCTOBER 24 at 11am, Interested in social justice and community organizing? Hone your skills at a teach in led by community organizers from DC and student organizers involved in the CASJ Coalition. Lunch will be provided. To sign-up come to the CASJ Town Hall. We know some of you have club meetings at this time but try to send a delegate from your group, too!
-TODAY, OCTOBER 22 at 9:00pm, SIS 300! USCB is invited to join STAND (United to End Genocide) and Fight Back/Rebuild to watch the final Presidential Debate on foreign policy. The world is waiting to hear what the two presidential candidates will highlight as their most critical foreign policy concerns.
-TODAY, OCTOBER 22 at 7:15pm, SIS Lobby,Justice Not Jails says, "Come on ovaaa to discuss/plan for both our radical punk show and the poetry slam. Bring good ideas! We miss your beautiful faces..."
-OCTOBER 23 at 8am Many of the housekeeping and dinning service workers at American University are immigrants. About a year ago, C.L.A.S.E. started doing Citizenship classes. Many of the workers responded and came to the classes and made great progress. However, for most of the workers, the $675 fee for applying for citizenship is too expensive. Becoming a citizen is a very long and challenging process, with many other hidden fees. In response to this, C.L.A.S.E. has started a citizenship application fund, to help the workers pay the application fee, as well as some of the other associated costs. Our first fundraiser has already started. From now until November 7th 2012, come to Zen Tara Tea, and purchase one of the election teas and $1 will go towards the citizenship costs fund for the workers. We will also be selling tea on the Quad on October 24th, 2012.
