Friends, Student activist from around the Midwest are coming to Iowa City April 18-20 for the Midwest Campus Antiwar Conference. I can not stress enough how important it is for the UNI Green Project to be represented at this conference. Many of you are interested in organizing against the war in Iraq, and this will be a perfect opportunity for you to learn what is and is not working on other Midwest campuses.
I am able to take four people to the conference in my car. If you email the contact below you will be matched-up with free housing.
I wish I was able to be around more this semester to help get antiwar organizing going again at UNI again, however I have been on the road organizing around the state during most of the meetings.
UNI once had a relatively large and thriving antiwar movement, unfortunately it has virtually disappeared since I was last a student in 2006.
Here is some more info about the conference. Thanks so much-Chris Schwartz 319-429-0133
Their War, Our World:
Building a Student Resistance
Campus Antiwar Network
Midwest Regional Conference
April 18-20th in Iowa City
The bloody and unjust U.S. occupations continue, while the majority opposes them. Veterans speak out against the war and the media is silent. It's time to get together and organize a strong student antiwar movement!
Students from campuses across the Midwest will be convening to share their organizing experiences. Together, through workshops and plenaries, we'll try to address some of the issues facing the antiwar movement today, educating ourselves, as well as combining efforts to create long and short-term strategies to end the war.
Saturday
Talks on: Why We Say Troops Out Now and the Aims of the War on Terror
Workshops include: The Cost of the War, Lessons of the 1960s, Afghanistan: The 'Good' War?, Military-Industrial Complex, The Government of Iraq, Racism against Arabs and Muslims, Counter-Recruitment, The RNC 2008 Protest, Direct Action, Election 2008, Media Skillz, and CAN Chapter Building
Sunday
Put the War on Trial!
Members of the Campus Antiwar Network and Iraq Veterans Against the War will bring our case against the war, from it's foundation to its execution.
Registration is $10.
