I am going to San Fransisco next week. On the 20th of March, next Friday, there is to be a Global Day of Protest. Aaron is the president of the Social Action club at his college, so he has school funds to take a few students to the protest. I am tagging along. . .
The protest is also happening in Seattle and Olympia. I think if you look at www.internationalanswer.org you can find more information at least about the protest in Seattle.
If you are interested in the Olympia protest, contact Aaron via email abonifield@stmartin.edu. I plan on taking a digital camera and at least updating the weblog once, so it should be fun to do some travel / journalism.
Yee Haw.
Posted by bogsters at March 12, 2004 11:44 AMA question does pop into my head here. Why does the school have a protest fund? Doesn't this kind of prove what the right wing is saying about schools being liberally biased? I am not trying to be mean spirited I am actually curious here.
Posted by: LittleJoe at March 12, 2004 9:31 PMFirst of all, the school we are talking about is a Benedictine Catholic Private School (St. Martins College). Though the club that has been funded to protest the fascist establishment (St. Martins Social Action Est 2002) was the first political club to emerge at the school, we now have a republican club, a democrat club, a socialist club and a right to life club. Our school is by no means "liberal". We attract a large concentration of reliqious zealots and fundamentalists but the school, being a Benedictine establishment, has a strong committment to social justice. As an American citizen, as a student at a Benedictine college, and as a human being it is my duty to protest injustice and St. Martins College understands that.
