SDS will also be hosting a workshop on Friday, November 22nd at 9:30pm at the Columbus Trade and Convention Center, located at 801 Front Street, Columbus, GA 31901 (exact room still pending). Our workshop will focus on building the struggle for justice on campus and in the community. Emphasis will be placed on concrete ways that youth can fight back against oppression and what role young people can play in the movement. We are encouraging all students and youth to join us here to network and strategize!
On October 22nd, 2013, 65 year-old Rasmea Odeh was arrested in her home and charged with immigration fraud. The Department of Homeland Security alleges Rasmea did not disclose her arrest by an Israeli military court, which happened over 45 years ago, on her application for US citizenship.
