The moment of departure (video/quicktime 6.7MB)
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.

In Remembrance: April 5, 2005
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 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...

Anti-Homeless "Parking Lot Peril" Law at Council 3 PM 4-11
Ignoring public requests for a thorough examination of alternatives, lacking substantiation that there's a "crime wave" downtown, reversing decades of Santa Cruz traditional use, directly targeting the homeless, but impacting every member of the community, Councilmember Coonerty's "Fifteen Minute Trespass" law will slide through City Council Tuesday Aprill 11th shortly after 3 PM. Be there to give them some indigestion as they chew up and swallow public spaces and human r...

SAW to protest Military Recruiters on April 11
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...
