The Civil and Human Rights Committee would like to thank everyone for making the Cinco d’ Mayo, and all our celebrations a great success.  We also would like to thank Ray Lopez for allowing us to display his various Mexican heritage articles.  We also appreciate the tremendous aid from our helpers.

Due to the strike, we are extending the deadline for the academic awards.  The deadline will be June 30, 2008.  You can still pick up applications at the union hall.  If you have any questions, you can contact the Civil and Human Rights Committee through the union hall.

We would like to thank all of you who gave their support during the strike and volunteered beyond the call of duty so that everything ran smoothly.

Welcome all transfers and new/permanent members.  We hope you will all enjoy a safe negotiated Independence Holiday.  Remember-safety-first.  As you celebrate reflect on the words of Martin Luther King, “We will prevail….Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

In Solidarity,
Civil and Human Rights Committee
