Friends, Students, Activists,<\/p>\n
Here we go again for another week of GU Amnesty fun. We’re back in our usual time and place, Tuesday 5pm in QMU Committee Room 1, and we’ve got a typically full and diverse meeting planned.<\/p>\n
After seeing ‘Blood in the Mobile’ last week I know I’m feeling a bit more informed on conflict minerals and raring to go with it. Just as I’m writing this we’ve gotten a reply ffrom one of our Freedom of Information Requests. Updates will follow at tomorrow’s meeting.<\/p>\n
This Week’s Meeting<\/p>\n
It’s a veritable smorgasbord of a meeting this week:<\/p>\n
– I’ll be doing a presentation on Forced Evictions. It’s related to the Roma Rights issue of a few weeks ago but in a more global context. – Louise, eager for your poster competition entries, will be doing a poster brainstorming session. – Robert and Cat will be doing some filming for Cat’s activist video – Ruth and Siuan will be making a backdrop for our Conflict Minerals campaign video<\/p>\n
And last but not least – We’ll be pulling names out of a hat for who want to go collect our Raise-Off Award at the student conference in London.<\/p>\n
Coming Up:<\/p>\n
– 6th November – Guest Speaker at main meeting – Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in China – 7th November Glasgow Human Rights Group Talk – 11th or 18th November – Pub Quiz in Jim’s Bar – 16-18th November UK Student Conference – 21st November Dialectic Panel Dicsussion – 27th November SPB Screening and Christmas Party<\/p>\n
– 9th February Secret Policeman’s Ball!<\/p>\n
I’ll see you guys tomorrow,<\/p>\n
