1. Connecting the Dots of Climate Justice: Workshop / Strategy Session with Evan Greer of the Riot-Folk! Collective & Rising Tide
Event: Climate Justice WorkshopThis popular-education workshop weaves together music, stories, guided discussion, images, and games to help groups to identify and understand the root causes of climate change and the related systems attacking our planet and our communities. With this knowledge, we will brainstorm creative responses that everyone can take part in.
Climate Change is too often framed as simply an issue of too much carbon in the atmosphere. Climate Justice is about seeing climate change as the product of hundreds of years of colonialism and other forms of injustice, and recognizing that the communities who will be most affected by climate change are the same communities who are already oppressed by this society.
Everyone has something to bring to the discussion, and we will cover topics and ideas ranging from gender liberation to community gardening. The focus will be on identifying ways to strengthen local organizing and connect with other social movements in our area.
Facilitator Evan Greer is a twenty-three year old activist, educator, and musician from Massachusetts. He tours internationally as a political songwriter and is a founding member of the Riot-Folk! Collective, a group of 9 musicians who work together to use their music to support grassroots justice organizing. Evan has spent time as a relief worker in New Orleans, a street medic at the G8 Protests in Scotland, and a youth and community organizer in Boston, where he currently lives. His deep involvement in movements for social and ecological justice gives him a unique perspective on the many ways that we can address the problems facing our planet and our communities.

The Senior Class Officers have extended the deadline for purchasing Senior Passes, and have scheduled two more "Bonus Ticket Sales" for those who have yet to buy the $120 pass to get into Senior Cocktails.
Senior Class President Ravid Chowdhury '09 writes:
WTF? I wake up at the crack of noon a.m. everyday and bust my ass for senior cocks. For those of you who did not by a senior pass yet, that is ridic. I sent you emails, love notes, poked you on facebook. you never called. Why can't you be like the other 500 people in your class who bought a pass at the scheduled times? I'm not mad at you, I'm disappointed. I work really hard.Your last chance to get tickets will be at the following times:
And I heard some ignant indecisive fools on the eclectic list servs are asking, "hey are you gonna go to cocks? should I buy a pass? Are you guys going, cause I'm not gonna go unless you go." Thats adorable, but dumb. Senior Cocks is the coolest event any college/university does.
There is unlimited alcohol and food. Everyone is going. Pay with student account.
But this is Wesleyan, and we are no doubt the dopest clique, and per style of dopeness, we are fashionable late. so late/cool that we miss the deadline. But baby, I love you and I would do anything for you. so BONUS TICKET SALES.
