[Ethan Boyles]

 

Join us for this week's meeting 

Wed 1/13 at 7pm, Room B14 in the basement

of the UW School for Social Work (Corner of 15th N.E. and N.E. 41st) 

1. The Fight Against Budget Cuts (45 mins)

Join us for discussion on the national fight against budget cuts. We will discuss the organizing and struggle in California that has been building since the fall and has lead to the call for a  March 4 National Day of Action To Defend Public Education. As part of the discussion we will  hear a report-back from our Budget Cuts Committee members about the state of organizing in the new UW anti-budget cuts coalition. Join us to discuss lessons from the ongoing struggle and how they apply to the situation at UW to help formulate a perspective for our work in that movement.
