Hey in case you've missed some meetings, here's some quick summaries about what went on:

Sept 1st. Meeting

LAND(Lawrence Action Network for Diversity) is an immigrants rights group of about 50 people in different branches—art, media, outreach, street theater—but they're missing a campus presence. So that's where we come in: The Student Coalition for Immigrant Rights.

The Current Political Climate: KS is going to introduce bills taking away in-state tuition and make Arizona copycat laws
