Changes

Students for Social Justice is a group dedicated to envisioning and putting into practice a better implementing social justice at Williams, in the Berkshires, in America and in the world. We do this by raising awareness of relevant issues on campus through informationalevents such as film screenings and discussions with faculty, diplomacy and fundraising campaigns by taking more direct forms of action such as attending protests and events. Our organizing fundraisers, including the annual events include: Hunger Banquet, Alternative Gift Fair, Valentine's Day Fair trade Chocolate Sale. There is no set agenda for the issues The specific topics we choose address vary according to focus on in any given year. Rather, the focus of the group is guided by the interests and passions of the students who attend our meetings. In the past we have dealt with hunger, poverty, war, economic and trade justice on both the local and national levels. There are no "officers" or hierarchy in our group. Meetings are run horizontally. They typically start off with introductions and a "whip"--a question that everyone answers--and a "rabble rouser". They're fun. We're fun.

We invite all to come join us every Wednesday night Everyone and anyone is welcome at our meetings on Wednesdays at 9 pm 7:30pm on the comfy couches in second floor of Goodrich (ie. the living room of Kellogg House/Center balcony).  Email erh1 to join our listserve or for Environmental Studiesmore info.
