Hi Everyone,
We are putting together an end of term "Thistle." "The Thistle" has
a proud history starting back in the '80s when the media refused to accurately
represent the divestment movement against the racist Apartheid system in
South Africa. The same concerns about media bias persist today, particularly
in this climate of irrational nationalism that has been stoked and pushed by
an
ever more consolidated media industry. Please join us in putting out a paper
that is a few drops of water for the very thirsty community of people of
conscience, both at MIT and in Cambridge.
What: Thistle meeting
When: Tues, May 27, 4pm
Where: Thistle office, 3rd flr walker memorial (SW corner)
We hope to have articles on all sorts of issues, such as:
War, Occupation, Militarism - from MIT to Iraq!
Associated decline in civil liberties/attacks on immigrants
Where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction? - Los Alamos, Florida,
Virginia, Israel...
70% health care cost increase for grad students
Media Oligopoly status report
Affirmative Action: "We Won't Go Back!"
We are also looking to solicit adds and donations, so if you know of
businesses, organizations or people who want to get their word
out to a progressive audience or who want to help promote alternative
media, add info can be found under "advertising" at:
http://web.mit.edu/thistle/www/
or contact thistle at <thistle-acl@mit.edu>
Hope to see you tomorrow!
Aimee
