from the Macalester Public Knowledge Base
MPJC has become a chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and has reformed as an anti-war organization.
Statement of the Reformation of MPJC as an Anti-War Organization
MPJC strives to oppose racism, capitalism, homophobia, imperialism, patriarchy, environmental degradation and abelism. MPJC is committed to building meaningful coalitions to work towards justice, self-expression, self-determination, and autonomy. Through non-hierarchical and consensus-based organizing, we aim to work on these issues by hosting speakers, arranging discussions, and coordinating demonstrations.
