Digging up the Dirt Wednesday, March 12th Every successful campaign is based on solid research and a few stunning, outraging and evocative facts. But how do you go about digging up the dirt that exposes corporate plunder, government corruption, foreign intervention, or anti-student university policies for what they are? There's no single way to do good research, but this two-hour long workshop will suggest some basic research strategies and share useful tools and resources with participants. Consider it less a how-to session than an orientation session at the beginning of a long, messy and vital journey intopower, money, and politics; both local and global. (Please bring a laptop if you have one, but laptops are by no means a requirement to participate in this workshop.) | ||

Join us as several community organizers address the role of disability and disabled people in the struggle for resistance.
