Ruckus is a collective of students organizing an independent newspaper for the University of Washington community. Ruckus is for participatory democracy, social justice, collective liberation and resistance to killing the planet. We're focused on environmental, economic, cultural, and political issues connected to our university community. We invite participation from staff, students, and community members. If you'd like to write, illustrate, promote, distribute, advertise, subvert, or otherwise contribute, send us an e-mail, or visit us every second and last Saturday of the month at 5 pm at Cafe Solstice on University Ave.

As of Winter 2012, we've expanded our categories for submissions. We're looking for creative and politically engaged people just like your smarmy selves!
These categories are:
1. News
2. Features (i.e. magazine writing)
3. Opinion
4. Creative Writing (fiction, poetry)
5. Visual Arts
6. Miscellaneous

In our last issue we brought you some thought-provoking news and analysis. Agitated? Invigorated? Check out the community calendar on the back of an issue. Want to make things better? Dream up something you and your friends can do about it.

For complaints, contributions or whatever our e-mail is uwruckus@gmail.com.

do you wake up every morning on the wrong side of Daily media?

Come sleep under Ruckus's sheets instead. 

We had a ruck of people in the office for yesterday's meeting. Enthusiasm and creativity unloaded all around, so let's spread some of that talk out to the town. 

We gotta think up an awesome headliner for this first run!  

"call to arm-istice"

"call to unarm"

"call to justice: bring on the ruckus" 

Here's what's in our eyes for upcoming dates and deadlines: 

6:30, November 24th: an hour-ish of Collective meeting, join ruckUS for discussion, goal setting, and task delegating 

Midnight, November 28th: Submissions deadlines, article max word count 400; we want your drawings, your musings, and your coffee dregs

3:30, December 2nd: Layout and design deadline, first draft print up and Collective edit

3:30, December 4th: two hours to implement draft-edit revisions, Print Party for Final Newsletter! 

6:30 am, December 7th: distribute copies all around campus and the UD!

WTO Party!


In a period of planetary unrest,
a network of the People struck
en masse in Seattle, winning their
first victory against the WORLD
TRADE ORGANIZATION.

It is a dark time for the resistance.
In the shock of global economic crisis,
human rights have been trampled,
and corporations have begun
construction of a new WTO.

A band of rebels struggling to restore
freedom plan to converge in Seattle
for a PEOPLE'S SUMMIT...
