Leonard Peltier, Native American political prisoner, has spent 25 years in prison for a crime the United States government says they have no idea who committed. In 1976, he was convicted of shooting two FBI agents. This case is just one of many other current instances of the United State’s legal system’s perpetuation of injustice toward First Nation’s people. October

Video on "Globalization" Global Village or Global Pillage followed by discussion An easy to understand overview of what the global corporate economy does to real people and how we can unite to change it. Very positive (full of success stories) and motivating in the face of a vast and daunting problem. Concentrates on what the filmakers call the "race to the bottom", which is the process of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer (as represented by low wages and environmental degredation in the third world) and the "Liliputian Strategy" which is the idea that workers can, out of their own self interest, unite internationally and fight injustice worlwide. November

Video Guns for greed, School of the Americas followed by discussion A video on how people are trained in the military. For Spring Semester, 2002 the Earth Day committee has decided to schedule the Earth Day on Monday, April 22, 2002 |

Speaker: Ajiza Magno, East Timorese activist

Ajiza Magno is originally from Baguia, East Timor but grew up in Dili, the capital city. She was active in the East Timor resistance movement within Indonesia from 1993-1999 as she worked toward her undergraduate degree in economics at Universitas Sebelas Maret on the Indonesian island of Java.
East Timor is the eastern half of the island of Timor which lies between Indonesia and Australia. The land area of East Timor is the size of the state of Connecticut. In September 199 East Timor announced the results of a referendum on independence from Indonesia. This announcement triggered militia violence throughout the capital Dili. Many claim that the militias were trained and supported by the Indonesian armed forces.
