East Bay | Anti-WarCounter-Recruitment Rally & March in Solidarity w FAIR v Rumsfeld Supreme Court Case
Berkeley Stop the War Coalition is meeting at 3:00 at Berkeley BART on Shattuck, and taking BART to SF to confront military recruiters. CAN (the Campus Antiwar Network) has been getting lots of press lately, and is beginning to be seen as the frontline of student grassroots antiwar activism. This is a great opportunity to build CAN and to confront military recruiters off campus with some of our allies from SF state, high schools, and community activists. Please come build this event! NO TO THE SOLOMON AMENDMENT!
COLLEGE NOT COMBAT! BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW! Counter-Recruitment Rally & March in Solidarity w FAIR v Rumsfeld Supreme Court Case!!! Tuesday, Dec 6, 4:00 PM On Dec 6, the Supreme Court will decide the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment, which denies federal funding for schools that don't allow military recruitment on campus in the historical case of FAIR v Rumsfeld. You are invited to join students and activists in the Campus Antiwar Network and many others for a RALLY AND MARCH in solidarity with the counter-recruitment activists in the Supreme Court case! WE WILL RALLY at Justin Herman Plaza (near Ferry Building at Market St & Embarcadero) at 4:00 PM. Speakers will include Aimee Allison of Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and the Prop I Committee, a College Not Combat representative, a Campus Antiwar Network representative, and others. Music provided by local artists & drummers. WE WILL MARCH to Davis Street Recruitment Station, 670 Davis Street, to voice our outrage. Creative acts of solidarity are encouraged and welcome. To get there: Take BART to Embarcadero Station, walk 3 blocks North past Hyatt Regency towards Ferry Building. Sixty percent San Francisco voters supported Prop I to oppose military recruitment in schools and to support scholarships to counteract the economic draft of low-income students, overwhelmingly of color, who are used as cannon fodder for an unjust war. The Campus Antiwar Network opposes the withholding of federal funds as retaliation against schools, their students, and others who demand REAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES and EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES.
