DESCRIPTION:UC Demil Coalition Convergence in Santa Cruz, November 17-18\n\nThe 
 Coalition to Demilitarize the UC will be gathering in Santa Cruz on 
 Saturday and Sunday, November 17-18, for their Fall '07 convergence. 
 Activists from several UC campuses use these quarterly convergences to 
 meet, discuss plans and strategies, build community and support with one 
 another, and have a good time.\n\nThe Coalition of Demilitarize the UC is 
 based on the idea that the most effective and transformative means for UC 
 students to oppose war and imperialism is to challenge our own 
 university’s material contributions to the war effort. These include (but 
 are not limited to) management of the Los Alamos and Livermore nuclear 
 weapons labs and well over $100 million in annual military research at 
 campuses across the UC system.\n\nWorkshops featuring basic background 
 information regarding the Coalition to Demilitarize the UC’s work and the 
 issues it addresses will take place at the beginning of the convergence, to 
 ensure all participants feel fully informed and empowered in all 
 conversations. Again, the discussions will be very action-oriented: We will 
 decide on many of our next major projects.\n\nFree homestays are available. 
 Free food will be provided throughout the weekend. Please RSVP via email by 
 November 12th to ensure your 
 spot!\nhttp://www.wagingpeace.org/email_staff.php?person=_youth\n\nDraft
