Sender: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Reply-to: [log in to unmask] Message-id: <[log in to unmask]> X-Mailer: TWIG 2.7.5 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.2.09/990901/11:28 -- ListProc(tm) by CREN Friends, The 180/MDE Council, is planning now to hold the 3rd 180/MDE Campus Democracy Covention. For those that missed the previous 180/MDE or DTI conferences this one should be exciting and very crucial to the developnment of the campus progressive movements. Why would you want to attend such a conference? Well, there will be lots of discussion on the state of the campus organizing movements, and how they can be shaped to effectively address the problem of the corporate-dominated university power structure in order to make positive change at the campus level (and beyond) a reality. There will be lots of skill-sharing and networking with campus organizers and activists from across the US who are dealing with corporate dominance on the local levels. And, of course, there will be time to work on build the organization - 180/MDE! We're planning on the date of August 1-4, 2002. We'd like to confer with chapters and other folks in the 180/MDE network as to the location of the event. We've been leaning toward the Midwest, since that's where the majority of the chapters, but are open to other possibilities. Of course, having an airport of considerable size is a major plus, so as to reduce travel costs for people coming from across the US and Canada. There will be a 180/MDE "Communication Circle" conference Call soon, probably Saturday, Feb. 9th to discuss this with reps from chapters and other interested people. Keep that date and time open, more info will follow soon. Between then and now, the council and the clearinghouse staff will be getting in touch individually with chapter contacts to discuss the conference location and logistics. Peace, Andy Burns -- WE'VE MOVED!!! Please update your records and save for future reference.
