Hey all. Good luck on finals! I've had a great semester with you guys. I hope you've enjoyed the events that we've done. I am always appreciative to hear your input.

I wish you guys all the best on finals and with your summers. Also, if anyone would still like a T-shirt or would like to buy more please email me: jasmine.scott@mac.com--I have a few left.

If you're wondering about the photo--no real reason I just think Jack Bauer is the man.

ACLU Internship Opportunities
Deadlines
Fall 2007: June 29
Spring 2008: Nov. 3
Summer 2008: Feb. 1
ACLU of Northern California Policy Department focuses on three areas: (1) Death Penalty; (2) Police Practices; and (3) Racial Justice.

The Position: Under supervision and guidance of Director, interns assist in projects that aim to improve criminal justice and education policy in Northern California.

Intern will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge issues, conducting legal and policy research, and drafting legal and policy memoranda, reports, and other advocacy documents. The intern will have the opportunity to participate in staff meetings and may also participate in strategy meetings with coalition partners and assist in fact gathering for local and state advocacy efforts through Public Records Act requests, field interviews and others.

For each of the three primary subject areas, intern responsibilities include the following:
Death penalty:
The interns will assist with projects aimed at bringing community and media attention to flaws in the California death penalty system. Current projects focus on highlighting the prevalent issue of wrongful convictions in California and relevant legislation.
Police practices:
The interns will assist with projects to improve police accountability. The work will focus on a
range of police related issues including civilian oversight of police, use of force policy with
particular focus on Tasers, and intelligence gathering and surveillance practices.
Racial justice:
A key priority for the Racial Justice Project is eliminating racial disparities in the criminal justice system and addressing the collateral consequences of incarceration. The Project also focuses on educational equity in California public schools. Current topics include the “school-to-prison pipeline,” felony re-enfranchisement, and racial profiling.

I think you'll agree that we've never faced an environmental threat quite like global warming.
Fortunately the issue is finally getting the public attention it deserves. Whether it's a conversation around the kitchen-table, "An Inconvenient Truth" winning two Academy Awards, or a hearing in the capitol, people everywhere are talking about climate
change.

However, as we all know, just talking about the threat of global warming -- or any environmental problem -- isn't enough. What we need is action, from individuals and from our elected officials. The only way that will happen is if we join together to show our leaders that we all support bold solutions that solve the problem.

In that spirit, we are hosting a community round table on global warming in San Diego.

WHAT: Community round table on global warming
WHEN: Thursday, April 19 at 6:30 pm
WHERE: San Diego City College, Room C101, 1313 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA

The meeting will be a chance to learn more about Environment California's work on global warming and a great chance to find out how you can get involved.

Hi all. I hope Spring Break was good and that if you celebrate Easter you have a good day with your family today.

I wanted to inform you that we are bringing in a guest speaker, Rob Wilder on Wed., 4/11. He'll be addressing us in the Environmental Law class at 1PM in LRC 131. You are all invited. Mr. Wilder runs an investment fund which invests in clean technology and is a professor at UCSD. I think you all will be very impressed by how he's managed to make a ton of money doing good for the environment.

1PM, LRC 131 on Wed. 4/11

Thanks.
