meeting with other activists

Hi A3C members (old, new, and interested),

You may have heard of the racist and Islamophobic Cornell Review articles that were published at the start of the school year. This video would give you more information about it if you haven't heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBUo2JObT3U. Or you could email back with more questions.

Anyhow, a unifying response is developing from this. At first I thought it was just a short-term coalition about responding to these absurd articles, but the meeting on Saturday consisted of members from LAL, BSU, Watermargin, APAA, MOSAIC, CAN, PAC, Bully Pulpit, and others who seek to address all forms of discrimination on campus. Members are also more than willing to support us in our effort to establish the Asian/Asian American Center (A3C).

For this, I would highly encourage all of you to join the next meeting and contribute in strategizing to turn the discrimination around on campus. We can work to forward the progress of A3C and be the change!

Next meeting: Saturday, 9/13
Time: 4pm
Location: Latino Living Center, Main Lounge

In Solidarity,
Caroline
