Campus activists!
CODEPINK, a prominent woman's activist group against war, has been organizing a training camp on Columbia's campus for Saturday, March 8. There will be music, lectures, and training sessions. Topics include global struggles & global solidarity, non-violent action, diversity and anti-racism training, art + activism, resisting militarization and counter-recruitment, knowing legal rights, getting media attention, and other great topics. Although it's titled "women as peacemakers and agents of change"... don't be fooled, this is open for men and women. The programing and flier are copied and attached below.
Respond to this email if you are tentatively interested so I can get a head count.
