DESCRIPTION:AS THE US military becomes more desperate to enlist new soldiers to send to 
 Iraq as cannon fodder, antiwar students are fighting back across the 
 country by confronting military recruiters on their campuses. The 
 military’s continued need for more troops for the occupations of Iraq and 
 Afghanistan afford the antiwar movement an opportunity to hit them where it 
 hurts and impede their ability to continue the occupations or launch new 
 invasions of other countries. Anti-recruitment movements are springing up 
 everywhere: Seattle, Chicago, New York, Wisconsin, Vermont, Connecticut, 
 Texas, Minnesota. At San Francisco State, military recruiters were forced 
 to leave early without any recruits because of the hundreds of students 
 that came out to protest. (See 
 http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/18/1450222). The San 
 Francisco "Military Out of Our Schools" contingent for the March 19th 
 national day of protest was also one of the largest and most lively of the 
 march, boasting 350 people. The message is clear: we won’t stand for the 
 military using our schools to recruit soldiers, disproportionately poor and 
 people of color, to go fight and die in a war for oil and empire!  Come 
 hear how we can fight the war and the military’s homophobia, racism, and 
 sexism and build the counter-recruitment movement on the West Coast! The 
 West Coast Conference of the Campus Antiwar Network on April 9th, at San 
 Francisco City College, will help build a strong and vibrant anti-war 
 movement centered around the demilitarization of our schools! The keynote 
 address will be given by Sean O’Neill, member of Iraq Veterans Against 
 the War. Educational workshops will be held on the Case Against Military 
 Recruitment, the Iraqi Resistance, the Struggle in Palestine, and the 
 History and Future of US Imperialism in the Middle East. Action-oriented 
 workshops will be held on "How to Kick Recruiters off your Campus," "How to 
 Start a CAN chapter," and “How to Organize at High Schools”.  The 
 schedule is as follows:  9:00-9:30 Registration (donations welcome)
