The bloody and unjust U.S. occupations continue while the majority opposes them. Veterans speak out against the war and the media is silent. It's time to get together and organize a strong student antiwar movement!
Students from campuses across the Midwest will be convening to share their organizing experiences. Together, through workshops and plenaries, we'll try to address some of the issues facing the antiwar movement today, educating ourselves, as well as combining efforts to create long and short-term strategies to end the war.
Saturday, April 19
Talks on: Why We Say Troops Out Now and the Aims of the War on Terror
Workshops include: The Cost of the War, Lessons of the 1960s, Afghanistan: The 'Good' War?, Military-Industrial Complex, The Government of Iraq, Racism against Arabs and Muslims, Counter-Recruitment, The RNC 2008 Protest (featuring the RNC Welcoming Committee), Direct Action, Election 2008, Media Skillz, and Campus-based Chapter Building
Sunday, April 20
Put the War on Trial!
