About Me

Hi, I'm Susan Ryan. I was born and raised in NYC, mostly in Woodhaven, Queens. After college I moved to Detroit, MI. Detroit is a great city.

Politics, how we live, is my interest. This is my 10th year working at the Waste Water Treatment Plant for Detroit Water and Sewerage Dept.
I am the Recording Secretary of AFSCME Local 207 and very proud of the work our Union does. We provide water and lighting to Detroit and the surrounding areas and we stand up for what's right.

We support civil rights, equality and integration, the best environmental practices and look out for fair treatment in the workplace.
Like a lot of other people, being a student activist profoundly influenced me and who I am today.
Thats why I support student activism. Please click one of the links and really take a look at the vitality of student organizations and make a donation.

Press Release 8/29/2008: BAMN Declares Total Victory in Arizona! Ward Connerly’s "Ground Zero" Campaign Against Affirmative Action Turns to Quicksand "Super Tuesday" Becomes "Super Lose Day" for the enemies of civil rights

Late Friday afternoon, the campaign manager for the deceptively named "Arizona Civil Rights Initiative" (ACRI)—a state ban on affirmative action—announced that ACRI was dropping their challenge to the finding of the Arizona Secretary of State that ACRI did not have enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.

"BAMN’s fraud-blockers prevented Connerly from obtaining petition signatures by lying to qualified voters about the aim and effect of the initiative, so he was forced to resort to outright forgery and fraud," said Shanta Driver, National Chairperson of BAMN, and chief strategist of BAMN’s campaign to stop ACRI."BAMN’s campaign in Arizona shows that any reactionary initiative, no matter how well funded, can be stopped by a small group of determined people who stand on principle, tell the truth and won’t be moved," she added.

"In Michigan, Ward Connerly and Jennifer Gratz’s operation was found to be riddled with fraud by a U.S. Federal Judge," said George Washington, the attorney representing BAMN in its lawsuit against ACRI. "In Oklahoma, they withdrew their petitions in the face of accusations of fraud, because they knew they couldn’t withstand a challenge. In Missouri, they dared not even risk a challenge by filing their petitions. Now in Arizona, home of McCain, over 40% of their signatures were found to be invalid. These con artists should not be allowed to peddle their lies and deception in any state of the nation."
