SAC Committee Pounds the Pavement, Petition Signatures Bypass 1,500!!

Thanks to everyone for your support!  Word about the Campaign to Save the ASRC is spreading fast.  Please join us in the struggle by signing our online petition and then forwarding it along to your friends, families, and colleagues:

You can also help by submitting a photo or video statement in support of the Africana Center.  Please contact us if you're interested in doing so.  Its fast, easy, fun, and a great way to show university administrators that we're SERIOUS about full reversal of their unilateral decision to restructure the ASRC.

PS- BIG THANKS to Candace's mom for all of her hard work!
