OSU United Students Against Sweatshops

Monday, October 24, 7-8pm, Thompson Library (Rm. 460), 1858 Neil Ave. Mall

Ohio State University administrators, led by Chief Financial Officer Geoff Chatas, plan to sell off our energy to a private corporation for monopoly control through the Comprehensive Energy Management Plan. This deal has been happening behind closed doors and it will only profit corporate CEOs and OSU administrators.

We, as students, do not stand for our public university being bought and sold. Resist the corporate takeover of our education!

Building Genuine People’s Movements

Saturday, October 15, 12:30-2pm, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd.

When the Founding Fathers signed the Constitution in 1787, less than six percent of Americans could claim their rights as legal persons. A hundred years later, the Supreme Court recognized personhood rights for corporations while denying those rights to the majority of actual human beings living in the U.S.

• How have corporations gained constitutional rights? Through unelected Courts without a democratic process.
