On February 4th, 2010 more than 400 people gathered at a candlelight vigil to protest impending layoffs at Dartmouth College. I accompanied several other members of the Student Labor Action Movement to the rally so that we might show our support for Dartmouth’s jeopardized staff and allied students. The experience was especially personal to me because I grew up in Lebanon, New Hampshire, a town adjacent to Hanover where Dartmouth is located; the trek to the area was familiar, as were many faces at the rally.
