Appleton SDS

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of bell hooks (1952 -2021). bell hooks was an amazing writer, revolutionary thinker, activist, and feminist. Her contributions to Black feminism, conversations regarding love, and methods of resistance to our white supremacist patriarchal society are extremely thought provoking and essential in laying the groundwork that we build upon today. She purposefully chose to not capitalize her name to emphasize the substance of her texts and ideas rather than her persona/ personal qualities. bell hooks’ understanding and teachings on love are so transformative. We recommend everyone reads some of her books, articles, and watches her interviews!

Thank you, hooks, for all the work you have done and the powerful seeds you have planted in all of us around the world. Rest in Power and Peace bell hooks

❗️Join Appleton SDS and Sunrise Fox Valley in front of Warch Campus Center for the Fight For 15 Rally this upcoming Friday (November 12th) at 5:30pm❗️

It is undeniable that student workers are essential in ensuring that our campus operates smoothly. Appleton SDS wants to emphasize the importance of working with our peers. To unify and mobilize our student body towards creating an equitable and sustainable Lawrence campus is extremely powerful. We urge Lawrentians to actively engage and build connections with members of both the Lawrence and Appleton community. How can we work to create an interdependent support network of students? How can we unify in ways that will improve the lives of those in our community? The issues impacting our classmates, roommates, and friends are concerns that also impact the self; their wellbeing, safety, and liberation is also our own well-being, safety, and liberation. As a collective working class, those who exploit our labor will never be scrutinized if we continue to remain divide amongst ourselves. If we stay on the sidelines, passively wishing for a change, none of our circumstances will improve. If we dare to struggle, we dare to win!

Support our organizing by reposting our content on social media, signing our petition for raising the minimum wage, engaging in conversations about wages with your co-workers, and attending the Fight for 15 rally this Friday!!!

Hello, everyone! Please sign this petition to express your support for our "Fight for $15" campaign!

Fight for $15 at Lawrence We appreciate your support of the campaign

Our organization would like to thank everyone who attended the "Fight for $15" rally yesterday! Together, we will ensure that a living wage is brought to Lawrence University. Wealth redistribution at this institution is feasible—even though our administrators make it appear impossible! Appleton SDS, Sunrise Fox Valley and student workers will continue to organize and actualize the demands of this campaign!

If you dare to struggle, you dare to win!
