UCSC Student Assembly Resolution against UC Managed Nuclear Weapons Labs
In addition to counter-recruitment, SAW is engaged in a number of ongoing campaigns, one of which is having our university system end their management of the Los Alamos and Lawrence National Laboratories -- which between them are responsible for the research and development of every single nuclear weapon in the US stockpile. Considering that the Bush administration reportedly refuses to take the nuclear option off the table for a possible conflict with Iran, this campaign is as timely as it h...

Far-Right Threats Fail to Distract from Santa Cruz Protest Successes
Students Insist Counter-Recruitment Actions are Key to Ending the War
SANTA CRUZ, CA - Students Against War’s April 11th counter-recruitment protest at UC Santa Cruz was a small but concrete step towards ending the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq.

A11 SAW Action - One Student's Perspective
"On April 11th, 2006, in spite of the pouring rain and administrative attempts to stifle students’ free speech, Students Against War (SAW) organized over 150 students to march from the center of campus to the job fair, where they nonviolently prevented access to military recruiters through sit-ins and other measures. After about an hour and a half of negotiations and students’ refusal to back down, military recruiters left the job fair."
