National Student Solidarity Networks Launched
Student Solidarity NetworksStudent Solidarity Network
May this be an historic message. By the end of March, 430 students from 93 different schools across the country had signed up to participate in this people-empowered alliance. In the coming weeks, we will be following up with another 140 schools and thousands of other students who have volunteered with Common Ground, making one of the largest college chapter networks of any organization in the country. Through our numbers and motivation, we are empowered to make change happen.
How is your school network developing? It is logistically important that you organize your group before summer break. If you are planning on running the Dumpsgiving fundraiser, please keep us informed and ask questions. Our speaker and workshop tour is developing under the title: The Common Ground Speaker’s Bureau. Please consider asking your school for a budget now for the fall of 2006 so we can afford to send speakers and workshops to the four corners of the country. Further, there are several new updates on the website to assist you: an updated SSN trifold flyer, a detailed dumpsgiving outline and the latest copy of the ‘Breaking Ground’ newspaper are posted for download.

Each spring, students throughout the country are liberated from their academic obligations. They leave campus, throwing away furniture, rugs, appliances, and electronics. Each fall, bright-eyed first years arrive to institutional and empty dorms. They buy new furniture, rugs, appliances and electronics. Save the environment, raise funds for Common Ground and score some loot for yourselves by collecting dorm stuffings in the spring, cleaning them in the summer and selling them to first years in the fall.
