Hey All,

The SDS MidEast Convention is happening in 10 days in Williamsburg, Va at the College of William and Mary. We have an incredible weekend planned, defined by an emphasis on sharing techniques for local organizing and addressing and changing local issues through immediate action. We have 4 key note speakers lined up, several student led workshops, and a myriad of opportunities for participation, including cooperation with Tidewater Labor Support Committee and Student Environmental Action Coalition.

Come stay on the Sunken Gardens in FreeTown, paint the free speech wall, make a banner for the banner parade, join the march against William and Mary’s corrupt Student Affairs Dean, work Food Not Bombs, see an awesome documentary by Beth Bird (Each Their Grain of Sand) and hold your own workshop. We are looking for people to actively engage themselves this weekend and not come with the expectation to be herded and guided and filled with theory.

Check out the attached info packet which has the mission statement, tentative schedule, detailed list of speakers and workshops, activities, etc.

Please feel free to call Sean Sheppard at 757-350-1356 at any time to talk about this if you need persuading to make the drive down here. It is going to be worth it!
