Sunday, October 12, 2008 a member of The Injustice Must End (TIME) Committee to Free Efrén Paredes, Jr. spoke about Efrén's case at a CAMP (College Assistance Migrant Program) meeting on the campus of Michigan State University. Members of MRULE (Multi Racial Unity Living Experience) were present as well.The PowerPoint presentation about Efrén's case was shown and questions were fielded from people in the audience. Attendees signed 42 letters supporting Efrén's release addressed to the Parole Board, 47 postcards of support for the Governor, and several students signed a list committing to appear at Efrén's public hearing when it is scheduled.
CAMP and MRULE have chosen to use Efrén's case as a social justice cause to present about throughout campus. The students were enthused about Efrén's campaign and getting involved, and were eager to get started. It was a very productive meeting.You can learn more about MRULE and CAMP by visiting their web sites at:
