LATEST NEWS:
Quite recently, CASE outsourced
the operations of Shuttle Buses (a.k.a. ‘Greenies’) and Parking
services to Standard Parking Company.
This change in management has had a detrimental effect on the daily
lives of employees, and Catalyst commits itself to working with the workers
and the surrounding community to insure fair labor rights for these valued
members of Case
Western Reserve University.

Welcome to Catalyst. We are a
social justice group based in Cleveland,
Ohio, that is dedicated to
raising awareness of social issues that concern our world today. Our
meetings generally take place at 9 pm on Wednesday evenings in the Spartan
Room in Thwing Center on Case Western Reserve
University's campus..
We are a group of students from Case Western Reserve University,
the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Music who are
interested in social justice. The mission of the group and its members it
to encourage debate, activism, and participation in critical thought on
issues of social inequality facing members of our campus communities and
the community at large.
Another aspect of Catalyst is direct
action. The main goal of direct actions is to raise the community’s
awareness of an issue in hopes of sparking interest in an apathetic heart.
We hope to compel others to take a stance against injustice. While our
direct action is educational in nature, it shows our passion about an issue
and takes it out of a classroom setting and into the community. Direct
action takes many forms, often as a rally or protest. Armed with nothing
more than our conviction, a few signs and our voices we take to the streets
to show the community that we are not blind to the reality of politics,
money and justice.
At the center of Catalyst is the
concept of justice and the conviction to raise our voices in its name. We
create dialogue to find out more about controversial topics, we hold
rallies to support our brothers and sisters who uphold justice and we
protest injustice when we see it. We take up our role in the global city
and raise up our voices until they are heard and justice served.
