Hailing from Berkley, California, Lia Mezzio has joined the Evergreen community as the new Campus Organizer to help continue WashPIRG's important work.

The Evergreen Street Surfers is a group for anyone with four wheels and a piece of wood. The concept is simple, get people together to go ride. And through this process, bring people of all skill levels together to share knowledge, advice, gear, and resources. The club is new, and still unofficial, but will soon be applying to become a registered student organization. The group meets on red square Wednesdays at 1. If you have an interest in longboards or skateboards and are in the market for people to ride with, come check it out.

So what exactly is the CCBLA and what do you guys do here?

On Friday, November 4th, the Evergreen chapter of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador sponsored a talk on campus by a young activist from El Salvador, Cristina Cornejo. Ms. Cornejo was representing the FMLN, (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front), El Salvador’s major left-wing party, which came to power after the country’s elections of 2009.
