videoThe moment of departure (video/quicktime 6.7MB) by zoomzoom
This is a 11 second video filming the military recruiters as they departed from the career center. That day, recruiters were isolated from the rest of the UCSC Career Fair invitees, as a couple hundred students non-violently protested and pressured them off campus. Students created a path of exit for the recruiters, but they chose to leave upstairs instead. Woot!...

by josh sonnenfeld
Just over a year ago, on April 5, 2005, Students Against War organized over 300 students to kick military recruiters (and the CA Dept. of Corrections, randomly) out of a campus job fair. It was a starting point for many things on the UC Santa Cruz campus. It was the first major event in a whole Spring of radical actions that shook the school, as it was the first opportunity for many students to realize their own power. The protest also landed the students on a list of "credible threats&q...

SAW will protest military recruitment and the Iraq war on April 11. Protest is at McHenry Library, starting at 9AM. This event comes after April 5, 2005's counter-recruitment action for which SAW was labeled a "credible threat" by the Pentagon and the October 18, 2005 Queer kiss-in. This year SAW approached the Administration with some reasonable suggestions as to how a peaceful protest can occur without disrupting the rest of the career fair. These suggestions have not been adopted...
