So, Andrew and I are hanging out at Kix on 66... a small diner in New Mexico... somewhere between Dallas and Albuquerque. We're taking a break from the insanity of driving from Florida to SC... then through NC/SC/GA/AL/MS/LA to get to the events in Houston. We're definitely getting to see the country though..........

Yesterday, after our event at TCU, we went to Southern Methodist Univerity for an event with International Relations Club. We jammed on solidarity and explored the parallels between colonization, neo-colonialism, and "development". We had an interesting conversation about Fair Trade and how it has the potential to be an alternative to top-down development. Most importantly, we talked about how we can act in solidarity as students and explored ways to integrate an analysis of power and solidarity into all the philanthropic events on SMU's campus.

As we finish up our greasy spoon lunch, we're prepping for an event at University of New Mexico. Look for a post tonight or tomorrow and we'll let you know how it goes!

PS - here's the flier for the SMU event - love the design!
