DESCRIPTION:On Friday September 26, 2008 San Francisco State Students and members of 
 the community will meet at Holloway and 19th Avenue at 11:00 AM to voice 
 their concerns over the presence of Military Recruiters from the United 
 States Marines and the Border Patrol at the career fair.\n \nThe gathering 
 will march down to the gym where the career fair will be held. In opposing 
 these entities (among other questionable recruiters such as the FBI, SFSU 
 police, Gap corporation, and Defense Contract Audit Agency) a picket-line 
 will be held in front of the career fair. Informational leaflets expressing 
 why it is important that agencies such as the Marines and Border Patrol are 
 not welcome on our campus which promotes "diversity and social justice" 
 will be distributed encouraging students to boycott the tables with these 
 recruiters (and possibly the career fair altogether).\n \nWe are opposed to 
 the Marines because:\n- The Marines (and the military) target poor people 
 of color making false promises of citizenship and money for college after 
 serving in the armed forces.\n- Discriminates against homosexuals with the: 
 "Don't ask, don't tell policy."\n- Is waging an unlawful war in the Middle 
 East killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's and Afghanis and wasting over 
 a trillion dollars in spending.\n- Is not addressing incidences of rape and 
 sexual harassment against women serving in the armed forces\n \nWe are 
 opposed to the Border Patrol because:\n- The border patrol actively 
 discriminates against undocumented immigrants in this country\n- Detains 
 immigrants for several months at a time in detention camps before deporting 
 them\n- Is responsible for separating families and neglecting basic human 
 rights\n- Has criminalized people for trying to pursue a better life by 
 intimidation and fear tactics \n \nIn a time where our economy is in a 
 recession and students are struggling to pay for college with rising 
 tuition it is no mistake that the War in Iraq and the amount of money spent 
 on Homeland Security patrolling the borders is a crime against hard-working 
 people in this country. Rather than the career fair bringing in these 
 entities of discrimination and racism the career fair should promote jobs 
 that serve to empower students at this institution of higher education in 
 making a positive change. A better and alternative society that is 
 sustainable, promotes equality, and creates true social change is possible 
 through action and organization. This career fair must be crashed and these 
 recruiters must leave! \n \nCome bring noise, energy, and passion in 
 vocalizing these concerns. Join other organizations in targeting specific 
 recruiters and participating in creative forms of direct action.\n 
 \nSpokescouncil and Planning Meeting Wednesday Septmebr 24th, at Cafe 101 
 inside the Student Center at 9:00 PM. Send one or two representatives from 
 your organization, all individuals are welcome to participate.\n\n
