DESCRIPTION:A presentation and discussion with Darwin BondGraham and Will 
 Parrish\n\nMonday, June 2nd\n7 p.m.\nClassroom Unit II\n\nEducation for 
 Sustainable Living Program\n\nMost think of the University of California as 
 a benevolent institution from which emerge many positive ideas and 
 technologies.  But the UC's most significant contribution to the world has 
 been in the form of increasingly sophisticated and destructive nuclear 
 weapons.*\n\nThe UC's superior work in nuclear weaponry is only the most 
 blatant program of a university that has hired itself out to the US 
 empire's dominant social, political, and economic institutions for nearly 
 140 years.  Whether it is creating increasingly destructive war 
 technologies, developing modern forms of monocrop and GMO agriculture, or 
 producing ideologies that justify conquest and torture, the UC has 
 collaborated with the world's premier corporate and military interests 
 since its inception.\n\nBut there is another, starkly contrasting side of 
 the UC.  That is the role of its students, faculty, and staff in bringing 
 to life new and renewed movements for justice and ecological balance.  At a 
 time of merging ecological crises, wars, xenophobia and racial injustice, 
 and increasing corporate domination over all life, that proactive spirit of 
 resistance and renewal is urgently needed.\n\nJoin us for a lecture and 
 discussion exploring the UC from 1868 to 2008, from the genocide of 
 Indigenous Nations, the Spanish American War and the Manhattan Project, 
 through to the present: a time of renewed nuclear-militarism and increasing 
 corporatization and privatization of the University.  We will conclude with 
 A People's History of the UC that deeply reflects important lessons for all 
 people who desire a more just and ecologically balanced human 
 existence.\n\n\nThe Coalition to Demilitarize
