USCBL
Says Goodbye and Thank You to Eileen Campbell
For the past year and four months, Eileen Campbell has been a tremendous
asset to the USCBL, first as its Student Coordinator, then as its
Grassroots Coordinator. In mid-January Eileen leaves behind her
work with the USCBL and takes on a position at Physicians for Human
Rights (where the USCBL is housed and coordinated) as an organizer
with PHR‚s global AIDS campaign.
The USCBL has benefitted from Eileen‚s hard work and skills
in many ways. Firstly, she has organized students to participate
in USCBL events and initiatives, and she launched and maintained
the USCBL youth website. Secondly, Eileen has provided activists
of all ages throughout the country with information and materials
about the campaign and how they can get involved. Thirdly, Eileen
recruited 20 well-spoken veterans to participate in a lobby day
in Washington, D.C. and continued her outreach with veterans by
finding 500 of them from all 50 states to sign onto a letter to
President Bush. Finally, Eileen advocated strongly and convincingly
for Members of Congress to sign the recent letter to the President
urging him to support a ban on antipersonnel mines rather than a
rollback of positive mines policies. For these things and more,
we are grateful for Eileen‚s talents, work, and friendship.
Though she will work out of the same office where the USCBL is based,
we will miss her on the campaign. Good luck Eileen!
