>
>At the Center for Campus Organizing we are compiling a report on
>progressive student activism in the 1999-2000 school year. We are a non-
>profit organization dedicated to helping progressive campus activists and
>creating alternative media.
>
>This is a chance for you to shine and tell us the great work you helped
>organize on your college campus! We would be thrilled to hear your
>responses. Go ahead and brag for a minute.
>
>We are interested in creating a quantitative list of all radical actions on
>social justice issues that took place at colleges and universities across
>the country. This list, once it is incorporated into an article in
>Infusion, the Center for Campus Organizing's national magazine will enable
>us to provide hard facts about the vast number of actions and issues of the
>student movement. We will be able to make our presence known. By
>publishing the number of actions that took place on particular issues the
>media will be forced to recognize the student movement's force in numbers.
>Thank you so much for your time!
>
>Please forward this to other campus activists.
