Since we have a unique and substantial Fair Trade campaign going, I would think Fair Trade would be ideal. Anyone have enough video skills to put together a film about our Fair Trade campaign? This is a national competition, and the top ten finalists receive a $500 grant and a free trip to D.C. The one voted the best gets another $500 grant. If you are interested, read the description below and get back to me. The deadline is January 10. David ............... *Would you like $500 to organize a campaign or series of events on your campus this Spring to address these issues or other related human rights issues? *Take action and start a campaign to protect human rights at your school with AID's "Rights Camera Action" project! *What is Rights Camera Action? *You propose innovative campaigns around a global human rights issues and document your experiences on film. Your proposal will be evaluated on its potential to create substantive change at your university and to guide similar efforts on other campuses. Potential campaign issues and ideas include, but are not limited to: getting your university to divest from Darfur, getting fair trade food served in your university's dining services, labor rights, immigration and immigrant rights, access to health care and medicines, extraordinary rendition, and a number of different fundraising events. AID will select up to 10 winning ideas and provide you with: * $500 grant * Trip to Washington D.C. for one person from each campus group to meet human rights campaigns experts, video production experts, and congressional staff on February 1-2. (In special circumstances, two representatives may be invited to this training.) * Video camera for students to document their campaign. Each campus group will return to their school, conduct the campaign, and create a short film or video toolkit showing how others could replicate their campaign idea on another campus. The top video toolkit will be chosen from the ten finalists by a nationwide vote on the AID website. The students with the most innovative and successful campaign will win an additional $500. Other campus groups can then apply for a $200 mini-grant to bring the winning campaign to their campus. Are you ready to be an agent for change, to take action to promote human rights?
