Phil Klasky week one

As a lecturer in the Department of American Indian Studies and the College of Ethnic Studies, and as an activist working for social and environmental justice, I am well aware of the challenges facing indigenous peoples around the world. Due to ravages of colonialism and the constant attack on native lands by corporations and governments, orginal peoples have been forced off of their lands and marginalized within a system that favors profit over people and sustainability. There is a direct correlation between cultural and environmental diversity and as a cultural ethnographer I work to help preserve and revitalize native knowledge and traditions that help protect the earth -- teachings we can all learn from.
If growing a soul patch will help fundraise for human rights, then I am happy to help out. Contribute to our movement and watch it grow!

"My mustache is finally becoming visible. This was to be expected though, because it is slow-grown on nothing but love. However once it takes root, there is no stopping it's destiny, protecting human rights."

I always thought Mustache Competitions were somewhat superficial.
However, now I can proudly grow my mustache without being embarassed
AND its for a good cause! My role model is Yosemite Sam, and my
favorite band is Moustach (http://www.myspace.com/mustasch).

As an exhange student from the Peace Department in Bradford, UK it is
fantastic that I can combine my passion for lipfur with my interest in
human rights, peace and development!

If there is anyone out there who has any beauty-stache tips, I’m very
interested! Currently, I’m using Regain to boost my hair growth,
taking extra vitamins and my morning ritual is to put some conditioner
on for 5 minutes to make it shiny and smooth.

I’m excited to meet other mustache growers and human rights fighters
at the Human Rights Summit in May.

I would also like to thank Josefin Benjaminsson for being supportive
and for helping me out with the trimming.

Here's a little info about me and my connection to the summit:

I am a visual anthropology graduate student at SFSU and am very happy to be growing a mustache in support of the Human Rights Summit this year! I have been involved in the past two summits and am looking forward to this year's topic: health and education equity. The summit is a great way to get students, faculty, and community members to come together and not only discuss human rights issues, but also actively work toward making differences in our communities now.

My name is Paul and I have just recently moved to San Francisco. I have donated my face on behalf of my best friend Nicole and on behalf of Human Rights. " Though a heroic sacrifice for educatory purposes, shaving my face is a mere inkdrop toward a world of togetherness."

Nathan's Bio:

Nathan has been an avid grower of facial hair from an early age. He started with the well known goatee, but soon moved on to more progressive forms of ornimentation such as the mountain man beard, and later the handlebar mustache. Nathan has participated in various mustache competitions throughout the United States, but this particular mustache-a-thon is closer to his heart.
In his own words:
"Having participated in the Human Rights Summit during my undergraduate studies at San Francisco State University, I know that it is one of the most important events produced every year. Important for the broader community and for the students who not only get the valuable experience of planning and producing an academic conference, but get to read their own works in a public forum. This is unheard of in most undergraduate institutions, and in the current financial climate we need to band together in order to make sure that conferences such as this stay alive. Im wearing my mustache proudly, and I hope that you can find it in your heart to give a few dollars for a great cause!"

I never thought I'd grow a stache and now I'm using green onions to fertilize the growth! You can bet I'll have a whole facial garden at our 7th Annual SFSU Human Rights Summit, May 4 - 7, 2010. Support my stache and check out the weekly variety of fruits and veggies...

The Birth of the Humane Mustache

Welcome to the first annual Human Rights Summit Mustache-a-thon!

It is an honor to present to you the brave upper lips of those dedicating their mustaches to Human Rights.

These posts will be weekly updates on the progress of each grower.

If you would like to support any of these noble mustaches you can donate through our Pay-Pal account.

Also, if you're willing to grow a mustache for human rights you can take a picture of your clean-shaven face and send it to humanstache@gmail.com so that we can get you on this blog.

Your tax deductible donations will go towards the production costs of putting together the seventh annual SFSU Human Rights Summit. With all the budget cuts the CSU system has suffered in the past years, your participation is crucial and greatly appreciated!
