Tacoma SDS

In 1907, more than two hundred South Asian migrant workers in Bellingham were attacked by a mob of white workers. In the course of one night, an entire community was driven from the town - in the approving words of a local paper, "wiped off the map". One hundred years later in 2007, hostility toward immigrants of color in Bellingham continues. Raids and detentions by government immigration agents are ongoing: so are surveillance and harassment from both government agents and groups like the minutemen. How have the events of 1907 shaped Bellingham as we know it in 2007?

As part of University of Puget Sound's annual Ecofest, Students for a Sustainable campus, Youg Democrats and SDS members will take part in a discussion about both local and national green policies and presidential candidates. Young Democrats will have a 20min presentaion on Obama.

If you can afford the outrageous ticket price ($15, $5 UPS students), go check out Angela Davis!

Angela Davis is a highly important social justice organizer, made famous by the FBI's attempts to imprison and brutalize Angela along with other black radical organizers, her work with the Black Panther Party and Communist Party, and her most recent work to abolish prisons and establish rights for those having been convicted of felonies. She also teaches as a professor of history of consciousness at University of California Santa Cruz.

Paul Larudee, a member of the Free Gaza Movement, will be speaking on campus next Monday, February 11, at 1:30 in WSC 101.

Paul will speak about the occupation/siege of Gaza but, more importantly, what he is doing to end it. In June he will be aboard a ferry that will leave Cyprus and attempt to reach Gaza. Israel claims that it no longer occupies Gaza, and thus has no responsibilities for the inhabitants, yet it controls the international borders.
