Democracy is alive @ UB



Today, I experienced democracy at work. This isn’t the democracy George Bush defines….it’s participatory work that seeks justice and truth. Today---the Graduate Student Association (GSA) " GSA truth commission" made an argument in the GSA senate and we as a senate and student body were successful in having that arguement heard, debated and justice was the result!


The president of GSA was unable to defend his deplorable actions that have caused some to resign their positions and others to act within their positions in a state of fear.


SO, the President RESIGNED! To the cheers of many!Tonight was such a wonderful experience....I felt like we as a group, we could even conquer George W!


Thanks to so many---Catalina for her courage and passion for social justice, Karl for his intellect, and strategy….Angela for her dedication and detailed-ness….Rima, Rachel, Sherene, Thering, and so many others----we did it….we made the president accountable!
GO SOCIAL JUSTICE….
