As the fall semester of 2007 at C.O.C. comes to about a mid-point, the Progressive Student Alliance is just gearing up to be active as far as hosting some events and raising awareness about our campaign for this year. Our first movie night went well, with about 25 - 35 people coming out to watch "The Take," a documentary about workers organizing collective ownership of various factories that closed during the economic collapse of Argentina in the late 1990s. It was extremely interesting to see what labor politics are like in a place like Argentina. I was also surprised that the factories ran so smoothly without the interference of the companies that had once owned them or government regulatory aparatii. Our goals this fall include trying to get our college to become a member school of the Workers' Rights Consortium, which would guarantee the clothes that get sold in our school store becoming globally fair products. As usual with a campus organization, we are always optimistic about new members coming on board at all points during the semester. Other than that, our second movie night will be held next week, and we will be planning the final touches to our outreach process tomorrow at a meeting.
