Urgent: Your Help Needed at UC San Diego
February 23, 2010
Greetings!


 ECE Classes
 
We are once again facing the threat of divestment. This time at UCSD.

The pro-Israel student group at UCSD, Tritons for Israel, has mobilized. Among other things, they have already created a Facebookpage to rally pro-Israel students to voice opposition, and they have created a petitionfor students and community members to sign to urge the student senate to vote against divestment. 

Click here for a copy of Student Senate Resolution.

Please make sure you sign the petition TODAY before noon.  They will be voting today, Wednesday April 28, 2010.
The Petition reads:

We, the students, faculty and members of the UC San Diego community, call on the AS at UCSD to uphold their Vision Statement, which states, "We will represent a diverse but unified voice, provide support for those within our community, and focus on the issues that directly affect the people with whom we have the responsibility to serve." The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict is one which directly affects students, faculty and community members on both side of the issue at the University of California, San Diego. Since there is not a unified voice in our community in regards to this conflict, we call on the AS at UCSD, in order to ensure that no student, faculty or community member at the University of California, San Diego feels alienated, to not support any resolution that is either Pro-Israel or Pro-Palestinian unless it is agreed upon by both parties.

They only have about 1500 votes and are looking for many many more.

Please forward this email to your friends and family.
 
Thanks for your support,
