Environmental justice, the hard way
Eschewing the lecture hall, Dara O'Rourke's students learn about equity — and humility — from the grassroots up
By Barry Bergman, Public Affairs | 02 March 2005
Undergrads Vivian Choi and Kathleen Rubio spent part of the fall semester looking at disparities in Bay shoreline access for high- and low-income communities. Their classmates, Nina Rizzo and Charles Kirubi, helped open-space advocates in North Richmond explore locals' attitudes toward an endangered wetland, while freshman Talia Levitan led a team in puzzling out what to do when restoration efforts bump up against homeless streamside dwellers.
...
Freshman Talia Levitan, who intends to major in Italian and legal studies, found environmental-justice issues cropping up even in environmentalists' efforts at stream beautification. Her project for Friends of Five Creeks, a group dedicated to restoring degraded creek areas in the East Bay, was to recommend protocols for dealing fairly with homeless people — an issue that arose when Five Creeks volunteers encountered a homeless encampment at the so-called Albany Bulb.

Let's see if they care
Finals are going great here in jericho! Land. A couple of us are already done (Jonty) while the rest of us are not (the rest of us). A couple of us now have free time (Jonty), while the rest of us are stressed and somewhat depressed (the rest of us). A couple of us see a point to life (Jonty), while the rest of us wish it was possible to crawl back into the womb and cry for days (Edwin).
To celebrate, here is a picture of Hawa with Friskers, the cat:
Glorious!

Olde Wikipediaee
Thanks Edwin! Appreciate the last post.
A while ago some stranger posted up a wikipedia page about jericho! To this day, we don't know who did it, even after it was deemed worthless by the Wikipedia editors and erased.
I did some googling and found the cache of the old wikipedia page:
Awww. Cute.

Re: Re: Re: jericho! Show this Fri/Sat
If you bring 15 guests, 5 strangers, 1 bouquet of organic flowers, and two congressman then I will personally present you with Moujan's future house. When Moujan becomes succesful and buys a house, you will become the landowners for said house. Furthermore, Moujan will write daily sketches to perform at your dinners.
Re: Re: jericho! Show this Fri/Sat
If you bring 13 guests, 2 strangers and 1 bouquet of organic flowers, then I will personally present you with a check from Mr. Edwin's saving account. In addition, Mr. Edwin will spend the next two years of his life massaging your back with all sorts of oils.

Re: jericho! Show this Fri/Sat
If you bring 10 guests, you get everything Moujan says plus she'll update her own blog with a story about how you and your friends founded jericho!
jericho! Show this Fri/Sat
New incentive: If you come to the show and bring seven friends and a stranger..then give me a wink (MZ) and I will make sure Edwin names a character after you in an improv set, gives you a 2 minute hug after the show (hand exploration allowed/encouraged), and treats you, three of your friends and the stranger to Chez Panisse for a delicious brunch on Sunday, May 6th.

More jericho! incentive
If you bring five friends to the show, come see me. I will name one of the characters in an improv set after you.
jericho! Show show show
Oh dear me. Last show of the semester.
Please attend.
Incentive!: If you attend and come shake my hand (MZ), I will let you pick any jericho! cast member you desire (except me). You will then share a 10 second hug. Hugs duration depends largely on the mood of the Hugging jericho! Member. For best and longest results, chose Russell. For worst and most awkward results, chose Hawa.
