MONDAY, MARCH 3. 2008 Student activist groups get tips BY JAKE RATLIFF STAEF WRITER Student activists who advocate for women’s right to choose learned the nuts and bolts of building stron ger grassroots movements at a con ference Saturday in Dey Hall. The conference, labeled the N.C. Reproductive Justice Action Camp, was sponsored by Choice USA and the N.C.-based SURGE. Students United for a Responsible Global Environment, a coalition of pro gressive student organizations. “Student organizing is very important." said Jillian Johnson, SURGE co-director and opera tions manager. “People should get involved and stay involved, mak ing activism a lifelong work." In addition to participating in a series of discussions, some students canvassed local neigh borhoods to collect signatures in support of a congressional bill that would lower birth control costs. After the canvassing. Johnson led a session to teach students some of the skills they need to keep youth movements going. Johnson recommended using a buddy system to pair experienced group members with new members to help them stay involved. She also advised that student groups keep all members involved in the decision-making process by requiring a consensus rather than a simple majority vote. “Consensus building is difficult, but it creates stronger movements." Organizations including Med Students for Choice, Feminist Students United and the Cooch Care Collective talked about both the spe cific issues they advocate and ways to keep student activism alive. “It’s about inclusion," said Samantha Selman. a junior at Salem College in Winston-Salem. “You want to make people feel welcome." Choice USA led a session for action against Crisis Pregnancy- Centers in Chapel Hill. The group said that the centers' advertisements target women who are seeking abortioas but that the centers don’t actually perform the procedure and instead counsel women against it “We are not out to be divisive and cause problems just to get infor mation out there," said Maureen Stutzman. an executive board mem- SEE JUSTICE, PAGE 5 weather \ Sunny V H 70, L 53 index police log .2 calendar 2 opinion 6 games 9 sports 10
