OK, so now that Right-Said-Jed (too sexy for his... sanity?) has reminded me that I actually made this thing for a reason I figure I should update folks on the goings on I know about in the world of progressive things around Purdue.
First off, Boiler Green Initiative is doing a recycling project where they encourage people to recycle at the home football games. Last year in just 7 games they collected over 45,000 pounds of recyclables. If you would like to volunteer to help you will receive a game ticket that lets you sit anywhere you want in the stadium and you can also earn some money (based on the hours you work) for a student group of your choice. Oh, you also I guess are doing something to save the fragile little blue rock we live on. BGI's next meeting is 9/28 at 7pm in stewart 310. Sign up for the recycling thing can be done via the BGI website.
Second, College Democrats will be holding their officer elections next Thursday in Rawls 1071. Newcomers are not only welcome but encouraged to join the process and run for a position. College Democrats will also be showing a public screening of the Michael Moore documentary 'Sicko' some time later this month or early next month (more details as I make them up).
Third, the evil capitalist-pig-warmonger-guntoting-redneck- college republicans have challenged the College Democrats to a something-th annual game of dodgeball. They kinda overwhelmed us last year since most College Dems were busy getting some Kenyan terrorist out of Baghdad and into the White House. If you want to come battle the forces of evil with us the game will be Tues. 9/29 at the Co-Rec at 7pm.
Purdue Queer Student Union has its weekly meeting on Tuesdays at 7pm in the QRC (G20). They have also resumed holding a regular coffee night (I think its weekly but I'm not 100% sure). I believe this is weekly and held at the Vienna coffeehouse from 8-10pm on Wednesdays.
If you know of any progressive organizations I'm leaving out that have events going on please let me know and I will update accordingly.
