The Partisan isn't affiliated with any school, student group, or political party. However, it does support national and social liberation struggles worldwide. So I, the editor, want to share with my readers an interesting website that one of my friends is running. The website is done as part of an ongoing documentation and education project by the Virginia Commonwealth University Students for Social Action (SSA).
What the VCU SSA is doing here is basically just collecting news articles and essays about ongoing revolutions from around the world. It covers Nepal, India, the Philippines, Colombia, and Palestine. The aim of spreading this news among the VCU community, as well as throughout Richmond, is to raise awareness about important global events and what role the US is playing in them.
The project also covers news about important state political events that go on at Virginia Commonwealth University, such as the anti-discrimination rallies that took place.
So if you attend VCU, or simply live in Richmond, and have an interest in the world, then you should visit the SSA project to learn about the struggles of the masses.
The website is: http://lalsalamvcu.blogspot.com/
The VCU SSA also does a lot of work agitating against the state and university budget cuts carried out and supported by the VA governor, VCU President Michael Rao, and the Board of Visitors. There are links to the SSA Facebook page on the website above.
If you are interested in helping/joining the SSA, then just leave a comment on one of the news articles on the website linked to above, or leave one on the SSA Facebook page.

Campus organizing is always tricky. Good luck on the paper though. See how many people you can get interested.
