around the world. We define our movement by our goals of promoting needed
critical thinking and dialogue in society, working with organizations,
schools, and the government to make education more accessible to all,
consciously
striving to deconstruct institutionalized oppression in alliance with all
groups, and aligning our vision for educational reform with a *global*
consciousness
that appreciates our collective power for positive *global* change. Join us
as we Occupy in sollidarity of Occupy Vancouver, Occupy Wall Street, Occupy
UBC and Occupy Together, and bring help build an inclusive space of regular
discussion, debate, and critique at SFU, in the spirit of building on our
campus' radical history!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/211490548918169/
