I just checked the APSA website this morning to remind myself of what hotel I will be staying in. Two troubling items. First, there is a labor dispute at both of the main convention hotels. The leadership of APSA is responsibly keeping us informed, and so far there are not pickets.
But, yesterday the APSA announced that we are awarding the Hubert H, Humphrey Award this year to Condaliza Rice. I think that awarding her any prize is a travesty. Her part
icipation in the illegal Iraq war, her service to torturers are reasons to oppose this award. I hope that others will join me in protesting this action.
APSA Update

The killings that happened at the instigation of Rice and Obama represent legitimate resistance by the most oppressed people on earth (US POC) against people with more privilege than them (middle-eastern infants, primarily). We honor these killings in solidarity with the struggle of US POC for a more socially just world.

There will be picketing on Thursday at least.

Get over yourself.
Obama killed kids with drones, illegally. HRC clearly engaged in multiple violations of international law.
But when people who are irrelevant start getting major awards, we'll consider you.You're not a political scientist, a dues paying APSA member, nor do you have a stake in this. Keep your garbage alt right opinion to yourself troll.
