CALLING ALL STUDENT LABOR ACTIVISTS
The Student Labor Action Committee at Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore, Maryland is co-sponsoring a forum to discuss the issue of urban
poverty and the major role universities play in the cause or solution to
poverty in urban areas. The forum, taking place on a Saturday in September
this year, will be a series of panel debates and discussions ending in a
large forum to address the issue of poverty in Baltimore.
The event is co-sponsored (and funded) by the same administration we have
been fighting for years in a Living Wage Campaign. They will be inviting
"their team" from different universities and we will be inviting "our
team," optimally from the same universities. Participating in the forum
will be representatives from Universities in the Baltimore-Washington area,
and we are looking for representatives from active student-labor groups
around the country. Please let us know if your group might be willing to
attend such a conference!
Aside from these speakers/discussants, we need student activists from
around the country to participate in this forum! organization and we need
YOUR input! There will be student panel discussions so we can share our
views on the causes of poverty in the cities where we attend school. We are
interested to know the role that you think your university plays in its
respective city. This is an opportunity to discuss your organization's
campaign and to learn from other student activists about their campaigns.
So send out the word to anyone who may be interested. Any suggestions for
speakers or discussants would be greatly appreciated. For more information
concerning the forum and how you can attend contact ("Respond to All" or
