Hey all,
Sorry to spam, but thought you might be interested...
SPEaK is getting its act back together this week and we'd love to see YOU there. We are having our first meeting this THURSDAY at 7PM in the Intercultural Resource Center (IRC), which is located on 552 W 114th Street, across from Carman Hall.
Come rekindle (or start) the flame with your favorite radical people of color and allies. We'll be talking about goals for the year and mistakes from last year. Join us! and tell all your First-year friends!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you that may not know:
SPEaK, Students Promoting Empowerment and Knowledge, has been speaking truth to power since 1998. Founded by folks with roots in the 1996 hunger strike and struggle that brought Latino Studies and Asian American Studies programs to Columbia, SPEaK believes that as students, we should be active in shaping our education. In the last four years, we have fought for student input in decisionmaking processes and greater autonomy for Ethnic Studies and Women's and Gender Studies programs, created extracurricular spaces for dialogue about race, class, gender, and sexuality including an underground student-run Native American Studies program, and curated public art to express our visions of the world and our interpretations of the historical and existing injustices around us, among other things.

with all my love
