Hello, all, We all know students with an activist fire in their hearts who would be well-served by more political education and social action training. I'm writing today because I would like your assistance in spreading the word about the new Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program that is being developed at the Antioch New England Graduate School. They are now at the public announcement stage and they hope to have the message about their new website sent to as many interested people, listserves, and organizations as possible. So, check out the message and web link below, and, if you like what you see, please forward the message on to any people or other listserves that you can think of that might be interested in this information. I'm hoping you all will can give your e-address books a real workout and send this on to activists, progressive students, and other politically-engaged academics. For peace and justice, Dale Bryan

"The typical environmental curriculum is incomplete! In biology class, you can study the ecological consequences of clear-cutting our last remaining ancient forests. In environmental health class, you can study how exposure to toxic chemicals interferes with the human reproductive system. But where do you learn how to organize the public?" -Janet Ross of the Four Corners School of Outdoor Education Yes, where can you get advanced training in how to organize the public to support environmental protection, corporate accountability, and social and environmental justice? The Environmental Studies Department of Antioch New England Graduate School is pleased to announce that we are creating a new masters program in Environmental Advocacy and Organizing that offers political education and social action training for people interested in working in the advocacy field. For more information about our Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program, please check out the program's new webpages at: http://www.antiochne.edu/prospects/esm/advocacy/default.html Also, if you like what you see, please help us spread the word by forwarding this URL to any individual, listserve, or membership organization that you think might be interested. We are counting on concerned people like you to help get the word out about this innovative program. Happily, we are already getting a good response. As one prospective student wrote us recently: "The proposed Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program is just what I have been looking for in a graduate program. The subjects it embodies, (social justice, globalization, organizing skills, history of social movements) provide the exact elements I feel are missing from most environmental studies programs. These and other virtues of the Advocacy and Organizing Program make Antioch my first choice for graduate school." Looking forward to hearing from you, Steve Chase
