Here are some groups on campus we could try to present to for the G20. The rationale behind the selections is that these groups might appeal to people interested in activism, regardless of what cause they promote or support. So hopefully: KNOWLEDGE + ACTIVISM = CHANGE

Nathan, priority groups are those with students I think might be more likely to get involved in advocacy, not to stereotype people or anything.I think we should also try to branch out.
The rest of the groups can be contacted by other SLIMers.
So far,
