Despite our setbacks due to the power outage at Tufts University, USAS roles
on! United Students Against Sweatshops will be holding a smaller event from
August 9th-11th in Boston, MA. The gathering will start around 9AM on Friday
and end between 3 and 5PM on Sunday. At this current time we are rapidly
trying to find a new location and we will send out updates over the USAS
listservs once we find a location. This event will be an affiliates gathering
focusing largely on the internal workings of USAS and how USAS functions as a
national organization. This is a great opportunity for folks to learn more
about how USAS works and how they can get involved in USAS on a national
level.
Due to certain restrictions, we are not going to be able to accommodate the
amount of people that the national gathering was expected to have. Because of
this we are asking each affiliated school to send 2-3 representatives who are
able to reflect the diversity of your group. It is also preferable that these
representatives are not already USAS leadership. This way, we can build new
leadership for the years to come. Please think carefully about who you would
like to send to this empowering experience!
If your school is not already affiliated with USAS please check out our
website (www.usasnet.org) for more information on how to affiliate.
The cost for the affiliates gathering is a sliding scale of $20-50 with a
suggested cost of $30. All housing will be crash housing unless people find
their own lodging. Scholarships are still available until Tuesday July 23.
Please make sure to let us know when you can leave your home and when you need
to be back.
If you previously registered for the Tufts University USAS conference and are
still planning on attending the affiliate gathering, please re-register with
