This week Lopo De Castro from Students Toward a New Democracy visited us in class to talk about a UM-spearheaded project in Overtown they think you should be concerned about. STAND is an international student activist organization with chapters on many campuses. If you'd like to know more about them or their activities visit the main site at http://www.standnow.org/ or email the local chapter at standum@gmail.com.
Details on the Overtown protest can be found at the PowerU website at http://www.poweru.org/SCBA.htm. Articles on the Overtown Life Science Park issues also appear in the Miami Herald at the links below:
