The Iraqi Student Solidarity Committee began efforts to bring displace Iraqi students to The Evergreen State College in October, 2007. We’ve made great progress by securing one tuition waiver for fall, 2008. There are currently more than four million Iraqi refugees living in Syria and Jordan ; this may be the largest refugee crisis since World War II. The Iraqi Student Solidarity Committee and The Evergreen State College have addressed this dire humanitarian crisis by offering a complete undergraduate education.

However, we must raise funds to cover expenses not included in the tuition waiver. These expenses, among others, include airfare, health insurance, books, and supplies. In order that the tuition waiver will be available for fall 2008, the Iraqi Student Solidarity Committee must raise enough funds, in cash or in kind, to pay for expenses that are not covered by the tuition waiver by June 30, 2008.

The Iraqi Student Solidarity Committee works in conjunction with The Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice. If you would like to contribute or find out more information visit our website at olympia-issc.org or email ISSC.Evergreen@gmail.com

Things have just been crazy with this whole levy business. It's horribly frustrating and also stressful. It just kills me that Terry might not have his wonderful amazing program that he, and the students, have worked so hard to get at the level they are at. Somehow he's become the poster child for the levy and three news stations have come and interviewed him. I put links to two of them but couldn't find the KIRO video. I think the KOMO one came out the best. There was also an article in the Olympian.

The Olympia School District recently publicized a list of potential cuts (with a few additions) for the next fiscal year, and it's set off a firestorm of controversy, mostly because folks aren't sure what's really on the chopping block. The Board wants direction from you, concerned citizen. Here's where I can help.

Using the initial document [pdf] offered by the Olympia School District, I've created a spreadsheet where you can try to save dollars and programs in your own attempt to balance the Olympia School District budget for 2008-2009 by cutting roughly $2.5 million.

Want to keep the Drill Team intact? Better delete it from the "potential savings" column. But what will you cut instead?

More options will be added as they become available. This morning, District and school reps met to discuss other potential cuts and additions, so I'm sure I'll have to update this soon.

SOA Watch is an independent organization that seeks to close the US Army School of the Americas, under whatever name it is called, through vigils and fasts, demonstrations and nonviolent protest, as well as media and legislative work.

On November 16, 1989, six Jesuit priests, their co-worker and her teenage daughter were massacred in El Salvador. A U.S. Congressional Task Force reported that those responsible were trained at the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA) at Ft. Benning, Georgia.

In 1990 SOA Watch began in a tiny apartment outside the main gate of Ft. Benning. While starting with a small group, SOA Watch quickly drew upon the knowledge and experience of many in the U.S. who had worked with the people of Latin America in the 1970's and 80's.
