 4/14/2010  7th floor Eshleman Hall UC Berkeley\n\n\nEshelman Hall is 
 located on Bancroft St. just West of Telegraph, on the North Side of 
 Bancroft\nhttp://berkeley.edu/map/\n\n\nThis Wednesday night you have a 
 chance to stand up for universal human rights standards and to object to 
 Cal's profiting from war crimes and occupation. Following the veto by the 
 ASUC President's of a 16-4 vote in the student senate in support of the "UC 
 Divestment from War Crimes" bill, there will be a vote to override the veto 
 this Wednesday night starting at 7:00 PM on the seventh floor of Eshleman 
 Hall. The bill calls for the removal of ASUC and UC investments in 
 companies that supply the Israeli government with weaponry used to commit 
 violations of international law, human rights law, and, in the judgment of 
 the UN, war crimes. It also establishes an ASUC committee to look into a 
 comprehensive divestment policy targeting companies that enable war crimes 
 throughout the world. Come speak and show your support.\n\nThe previous 
 debate lasted till 3AM, so be prepared - bring snacks and 
 refreshments.\n\nInformation on the original debate and full text of the 
 bill:\n\nhttp://www.kabobfest.com/2010/03/uc-berkeley-student-senate-passes-divestment-resolution.html 
 \n\n\nHope to see many of you on Wed.,\n\n\n\n
