My name is Tayler Thomas and I'm a political science student at Colorado State University- Pueblo. On April 5th 2012 we're hosting our annual Political Science Forum. This year's topic is Income Inequality. I thought it would be beneficial for students to hear just how bad conditions are and the impact that the occupy protests are attempting to make. Here at CSU-Pueblo, students are aware of the protests and for the most part understand the 99% vs the 1%, but from experience, I think most of our students think it's interesting, but view the protests with some apathy, which has been concerning for me. They fail to make the connections between just how severe the disparities are in society and how it affects them personally and in their future.
At any rate, I think having a speaker come to our forum and talk about what it's like inside the protests as well as the goals of the occupy protests would bring a better awareness of income inequality to our students. I can definitely give more information about time, place and topic if you or someone from your team is interested in speaking. It would be greatly appreciated and we're looking forward to having someone come out and speak!
Thank you,
