Hunger Strikers Demand Changes at Columbia

Submitted by Victoria Ruiz, Nov 8, 2007 15:50

Hi,

Firstly, I never spoke to you yesterday about the strike. Secondly, my mother was well informed and yesterday wrote and called into the university and numerous publications in solidarity. Please don't make a mistake like this again.

Also, I think the article loses track of the demands and the fact that the admin is not listening to us and has not been for a while. Also, there is a feeling of oppression and the fact that there has been 5 hate crimes in less than a month at CU, is but one catalyst of the need for change.

Again, don't misrepresent me again.
