Favorite Quote:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke, British statesman and philosopher (1729-1797)
"In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." Martin Niemöller (1892-1984)

The People for Positive Social Change (LCC-P4PSC) is a Lansing Community College student group under the auspices of the LCC Student Life & Leadership Office. The primary focus of LCC-P4PSC is to take action on political, social, and environmental issues involving peace, justice, equality, fairness, human rights, and sustainability that affect ourselves, the college, and the communities in which we live. In accordance with our mission, we do what we can to educate and inform people about what we see as the relevant problems of our times.
The mission of the LCC People for Positive Social Change group is: “Observing human rights for all, we will use our resources to improve our community in concrete, practical ways by contributing our time, philosophical arguments, love, and physical labor. As our ultimate goal, we seek peace – in all its various forms – from wisdom and serenity, to the absence of warfare, to a harmonious dynamic between humans and the natural world.”
P4PSC is affiliated with the Peace Education Center (PEC), the Greater Lansing Network Against War and Injustice (GLNAWI) group, and the LCC Sustainability Committee. We maintain an active presence on the LCC campus, where we provide counter-recruitment information to students, organize in opposition to the war in Iraq, support peace in Palestine and the Middle East, and work to make Lansing Community College a green and sustainable campus.
