[Peace] CRAAC! Next Radical Reading Circle

[Karen Medina]

Below is an announcement for an event that I would classify under the
following categories:
* Economic justice event -- unions
* Reading and critical thinking event -- though this event does not
involve reading a book, some of their other activities in the past
have.
* Community activism
* Organizing

---------- Forwarded message ----------
The Critical Research and Action Caucus (CRAAC!) will meet next on
Tuesday, December 14th at 5:15pm at the University YMCA.

Over the past year, CRAAC has met periodically to provide students,
workers, activists, and community members with a collaborative space
to critically reflect on social movements so that we might forward
more effective and inclusive struggles here on campus and in our
various communities.

The next reading circle session will focus on a discussion of tactics,
an issue of critical importance to the current student-labor movement
on this campus and beyond. Careful deployment of innovative and
well-organized tactical campaigns is critical to, amongst other
things, securing a tuition freeze, staving off contract erosion,
ensuring tuition waiver security, and ensuring that the campus remains
accessible to working people and people of color.

Collectively we will address some of the following questions:

What are tactics?
How can specific tactics assist us in reaching our larger goals?
What tactics have we used in the past?
Which tactics are best in the current climate?
Do tactics need to be tied to demands?

Everyone is welcome to participate in the discussion and readings are
available on the CRAAC! website (http://craac.wordpress.com/). If you
have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Peace--
Kerry
