Simer" To: Undisclosed recipients: ; Subject: Student Action bulletin 2 First, a few words about the Student Action Network: SAN is an equal opportunity stroker and plugger for any event on or around the U.W. campus that represents from the center to the left of the political spectrum. Its aim is to encourage activism and progressive coalitions in the U.W. community. SAN stands for economic justice, environmental responsibility, and civil rights for all. To contribute to or be removed from this list, e-mail jsimer@u.washington.edu by Tuesday at noon. Again, this calendar is admittedly incomplete. If you want to see more information, please send it in! Lastly, SAN will hold its first meeting Thursday; see details below. Student Action Network calendar of events April 23-30 Wednesday, April 23 MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) meets at 5:30 in the Chicano Room of the Ethnic Cultural Center, 3931 Brooklyn Ave. Rosalinda Aguirre from Jobs with Justice will speak. Other topics will include the idea of forming a labor solidarity club on campus, the May 4 farmworker solidarity march in Skagit County (see "upcoming events" below), and the United Farm Workers' campaigns to organize strawberry workers in CA and apple workers in WA. Thursday, April 24 Student Action Network will meet at noon in the HUB Atrium, by the windows. (The Atrium is the cafe across Stevens Way from Loew Hall and the Engineering Library. Look for the ragtag table of people talking too loudly and waving fingers in the air in revolutionary fashion.) To be discussed: establishing SAN as an official student organization, defining its goals, outreach, a webpage, plans for action. All welcome. And then.... Dale Forman, head of the state Republican Party, will speak to the College Republicans from 1:30 to 2:30 in HUB 310. Please attend to ask him some tough questions about tuition increases, welfare cuts, and all the other gems the R's put int their budget. Better yet, come to the SAN meeting just before and we'll come up with a plan of attack.
