Title: Students for Economic Justice


1
Students for Economic Justice
  • getting a make over
  • msusej.org

2
Background
  • Students for Economic Justice are a campus group
    who fight for human rights and workers rights
    globally and locally
  • They have been at MSU since 1999, and the party
    never stopped

3
What theyve done
  • Currently working on ethical contracting,
    concentrating on Coca Cola
  • Two years ago they pushed MSU to join the Worker
    Rights Consortium, which monitors where MSU
    clothing is made
  • They have other victories including getting Taco
    Bell off campus and helping local unions
  • They work in solidarity with other radical
    organizations, most recently they have been
    fighting for free immigration and affirmative
    action

Now to their website
  • Its difficult to update
  • New members can be turned away by it
  • People unsure if they want to get involved wont
    find the info they need
  • Allies go there for updates only to find news
    from a few years ago and a broken RSS feed.

5
It has some nice features
  • The idea that any member can post news is
    something we dont want to take away
  • The set up is nice, with an RSS feed on the left,
    news in the middle, and a calendar on the right

6
MAIN GOALS
  • Make it so new members can feel ownership over
    website, and therefore group (sustainability)
  • Make it so non-members will want to get involved
    (usability)
  • Make it so allies will not feel like we are a
    bunch of lazy kids with bad tempers
    (accessibility)
