Latest organizing

The semester is off to a great start for the U.K. SSU. We've already had a couple of planning meetings, and planning is in full swing for the Saturday, February 25 Regional Left Convergence. We are looking forward to gathering together with activists from around the region to discuss a range of topics, from the Occupy movement to the Immokalee workers, from learning from the history of the civil rights movement to contributing to struggles for affordable tuition. We are especially looking forward to meeting some activists with whom we have not been in touch as much as we'd like and sharing our stories of what organizing projects have worked for us, and possibly finding ways to collaborate in the future. It will be a great time--stay tuned for updates. If you haven't joined the Facebook group yet, please check it out: http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/10175332735/.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new blog of the University of Kentucky Socialist Student Union!

The SSU welcomes students or others, who are socialists or interested in socialism, to get involved. We're an official student organization at U.K., and our activities thus far have included a rally for affordable education (which received excellent press coverage), a speakers' series, movie nights, and parties. We are unaffiliated with any larger socialist parties/organizations. Our three issues of focus currently are:

(1) Tuition-free college education for all
(2) Support a living wage for campus workers
(3) Oppose imperialist U.S. military invasions

Stay tuned for updates!

Any help you can offer in spreading the word about this blog would be greatly appreciated.
