We're very excited about the Regional Left Convergence this Saturday. Come check it out! We predict a good turn-out locally as well as visitors from Louisville and from West Virginia and Ohio. Here's the latest schedule of events:

*Andrés Cruz, editor and publisher of La Voz de Kentucky
*Danny Mayer, publisher of North of Center and an instructor at BCTC.
*Teri McGrath, writer, teacher, and activist in Lawton, Oklahoma and regular contributor to the Okie Magazine.
1:00--Lunch (free cajun food, including vegan option)
2:00pm--Fifteen-minute film presentation and discussion on historic civil rights struggles, chaired by Janet Tucker
3:00pm--Panel and break-out sessions on the struggle for affordable tuition, chaired by Enku Ide
4:00pm--Occupy Panel, chaired by Joan Braune
*Brandon Absher

Spread the word and come when you can--this will be a fantastic event! It's free and open to the public--you don't have to be a student or a socialist to attend.
Thanks to everyone who helped us put this together, and a special thanks to the Committees of Correspondence's Fund for Intergenerational Dialogues, whose generous grant to make this event possible.
