Welcome!

Welcome to Adelaide Activists!

This is designed to be a network for Progressive students in South Australia and in particular at Adelaide University. I envision it will include discussions on upcoming campaigns, issues currently in the media, happenings at the three Universities and coordination through NUS State branch and nationally. Please feel free to comment and start debate on anything in here as well as emailing me anything you think should be included at- rhiannon.newman@adelaide.edu.au

The Constitution for South Australian State Branch is currently being written any suggestions to me ASAP

I am currently in the process of writing a strategic plan for Student Activism in South Australia for 2007. Again any suggestions would be most appreciated. The main focus will be surrounding NUS's main campaign 'Voice for the Future' which incorporates the fight for equitable higher education, the 'Your Rights at Work' Campaign and Global Warming. As it is a Federal election year a strong 'Enrol to Vote' campaign is also on the cards. These are the sorts of campaigns that can be incorporated into all interest groups and have widespread appeal.

So if you are ready to ensure the continuation of Adelaide Activism- Welcome! You are in the right place and I look forward to the campaign!
