Statement from the Sit-in at Evergreen: Where We're Going
The sit in on the 4th floor of Sem 1 continues. We are still keeping our initial demand that Olympia SDS be reinstated and have recently added the additional demands that Kelly Beckham be offered her job back as well as compensation for time lost, and a change in the process by which student groups lose their RSO (Registered Student Organization) status that is determined by those most affected, the students and members of these organizations. To some, this sit-in may appear to be too focused on SDS, but the intention of the sit-in has always been and continues to be bigger than the status of one student group. Since the beginning of the free speech fight, SDS has always stated that our priority is to increase student power and the sit-in has created a space for new and more people to get involved in fighting for social justice. This is more than just SDS.
