Two New Pamphlets from SEAC and RAN!
SEAC Election Guide: We're excited to inform all our members of two great new pamphlets by SEAC and RAN. The first pamphlet, edited by SEAC National Council Member Dave Shukla and designed by Slim Lopez is called "Now and After: SEAC's Guide to Student Organizing Around the 2008 Elections". The guide explores why engaging with the 2008 elections and our current political moment is so vital to the success of building movements into the next year. Essays over topics ranging from analyzing our political moment, to advocating that we organize heavily to prepare for the first hundred days of the next presidential administration and congress, to why the climate movement needs to win economic democracy in order to achieve justice and equity.
RAN NVDA Pamphlet: Secondly, the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has produced an amazing pamphlet on Nonviolent Direct Action called "Get Some Action: Taking Our Place in the History of U.S. Social Movements", written by Joshua Kahn Russell, a RAN staff member and SEAC National Council Member. Like Dave and Slim's pamphlet, it stresses the importance of the climate crisis and taking bold action at this point in history in order to advert catastrophe. Drawing from the rich history of movements for social justice and their strategic application of NVDA, it outlines the basics of this method, its history, and why its a vital tactic in winning the fight against climate change, dirty energy corporations, and environmental injustice.
