Campaign Updates August 20, 2008
The campaigns throughout the summer have accomplished a lot. The health survey group is focusing on finding out the health results of the people around the celotox area and how it is affecting them. They are trying to link the celotox are with all times of different illnesses. The other campaign is coal power plant.
They are focusing on making a documentary of different life stories of people that live around the coal power plants and how this has affected their lives or health. They are also dedicating a lot of time to outreaching and trying to get together a community meeting.
The third campaign is public transit. They have been outreaching in order to get a 31st bus. They have been meeting with the city and are being supported by them to go along with the idea of having a 31st bus. The main focus of the group is to make visual material to show the businesses in the community and to
have them sign a petition in order to get the bus running by mid year.
The tif campaign has been outreaching and held their first meeting with two different organizations named S.T.O.P. and Stay Fly. The meeting was a success other then trying to keep them on task it went well. The group now is trying to get ready for a community meeting witch is going to be hosted by the youth. The whole meeting is going to be led by the youth and we are the ones that are going to get the place to host it and get the word out and get people to attend the meeting.
