As many of you may know the sentencing of Mychale Bell of the Jena 6 is on Thursday September 20, 2007.  A group of undergraduate students are trying to raise money to take a bus down to Louisiana for the national protest prior to sentencing.  The Graduate Students of Color would like to make a formal donation to support these students.  If you are interested in making a donation please contact:

I know this is short notice but please have donations by Tuesday.  Any amount counts and will be helpful!  Also regardless if you make a donation or not we are asking everyone to wear black on Thursday September 20, 2007 in support of the Jena 6.
