HUNGER FOR HUMANITY

Beginning Monday, October 8, 2007 through Friday, October 12, 2007, members of the LULAC Law Students Chapter will exercise our rights to freedom of speech and assembly by conducting a peaceful demonstration in the form of an on-campus hunger fast for five days to bring awareness to immigrant issues. As symbolic speech, we will set up tents for overnight stay next to the law school.

Project Purpose: We will educate the community about immigration issues and human rights. We will distribute literature and hope to spread a message of tolerance and respect for humanity. This project will occur during Latino Heritage Month as we honor the contributions of Latinos to society.

LULAC MENTOR PROGRAM @ Jack Yates High School

• WHERE TO MEET: We will meet in the lobby of TMSL at 2:30 p.m. and walk across the street to Jack Yates High School. For those of you with class until 2:50 p.m., we will have a second group of law students meet in the TMSL lobby by 2:55 p.m.and walk to Jack Yates immediately thereafter.


• DATES: October 3, 2007; October 17, 2007; October 31, 2007; November 14, 2007
• WHEN: 2:45 - 3:45, every other Wednesday
• WHERE: Jack Yates High School Cafeteria


• ABOUT PROGRAM: We will EMPOWER, EDUCATE, TUTOR, MENTOR, & INSPIRE 100 Latino students at Jack Yates High School. Together, we can instill some amazing values into these malleable teens who may lack direction, guidance, motivation, and role models. If we combine our strengths and harness the student’s enthusiasm, we can mold them into contributing members of society and assets to our country. Our goal is to ensure that these students do not fall through the cracks and to ensure that they attend college.


• TO BE A MENTOR: Please email LULACLawStudents@yahoo.com with your name, phone, email, year and feel free to tell us in what other capacities you could assist us. We need TMSL role models to help us as we have the ability to instill hope and leadership skills in the next generation.

In addition, the Jack Yates students from our program last year and their teachers organized and have invited us to attend a Latino Heritage Month Celebration on Monday October 1, 2007 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Yates Cafeteria. They will have student presentations, salsa lessons, tres leches cake, and more!
