Student organizers from across the country will be traveling to Montreal at the height of a provincial-wide student strike protesting skyrocketing tuition increases. Retreat attendees will participate in strike activities, learn about Canadian student unionism from the strike organizers and strategize ways to build a student unionism movement in the U.S.

Over the weekend of Sept 22-24, 2006, we will gather in Chicago some 40-60 campus organizers from a score colleges and universities, to compare experiences, recent advances and setbacks, and to plan coordinated action for the coming year. You, or people you work with on your campus, could be among those organizers. The idea is to bring the campus communities together, and get ready to fight for higher education, and a democratic society, in '06-'07.
