I'm assuming it has something to do with the presumed general godlessness of "liberal" (i.e. progressive) politics, which is of course a ridiculous fallacy. Our campaign has benefited immensely from the inspiring words of community religious leaders and from their power to educate and organize support. Obviously, it's also true that many (though not all) powerful members of STAND, Faculty for Worker Justice, the SEIU, and of course the workers themselves have personal relationships with various higher powers and religious natures, from which they draw the inspiration and strength they need to continue fighting. It is ignorant and insulting for anyone to suggest that this very important campaign is the province of atheists, since its ranks include members of all the Abrahamic religions, as well as many Buddhists, Hindus, and people of a variety of other faiths.<BR/><BR/>As to the second point, it's true that the fight will be far more difficult once finals begin, and that we are desperate to finish this before the end of the year when many of the student activists must go home or to internships or studies abroad. However, this need is in no way suspect. The reason for it is that many of the workers who have - entirely within their rights - agitated for fair treatment and union representation are likely to eventually go off strike and return to work, where they are very much in danger of being fired in retribution for their pro-union activism. This is illegal, but it is something that UNICCO has done before: Zoila Mursuli was blatantly fired in a failed attempt to deter the pro-strike vote at the end of February. We want this to end because we don't want more workers to lose their jobs for legally pursuing the protection of their civil liberties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23326204.post-1145505304774547792006-04-19T23:55:00.000-04:002006-04-19T23:55:00.000-04:00Since when do any of you give a rat's ass what a r...Since when do any of you give a rat's ass what a religious figure says?
