Amnesty International Club - first meeting/film
Thursday, Oct. 23 at 7pm
Galileo’s Gallery
Snacks and refreshments provided, all are welcome.
There will hold a brief brainstorming session followed by a video
screening and discussion of the film "Cry for Justice." Amnesty Canada's
television show, "Cry for Justice" is an inspiring and informative
introduction to Amnesty International's human rights work. The stories
illustrate realities that most of us will never experience. But they
provide us with an awareness that will hopefully lead us to make decisions
in our lives that can make a difference.
Congratulations to the Student Action Collective (LPIRG's newest Working Group) on their "Take Action on Poverty" events last week. 140 students/staff/faculty participated in the Stand-Up, Take Action Against Poverty event and over $150 was raised to go towards Bridges of Hope and the Lethbridge Native Women's Transition Home. Further action was taken in the form of 30 letters written to the federal
government on international aid, 8 postcards sent to the provincial
government supporting community organizations, and 53 people signed the
petition in support of the Lethbridge Native Women's Transition Home.
