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,

2008, Media Skillz, and CAN Chapter Building
Sunday
