Activists, writers and
organizations are supporting students in a wave of repression that has
surfaced at Holyoke Community College, George Mason University and
UW-Madison this past week. HCC Antiwar Coalition and UW-Madison Stop
the War are chapters of the Campus Antiwar Network.
The Campus Antiwar Network
website at http://www.campusantiwar.net
is covering these breaking stories and posting updates. CAN is
organizing actions in response to repression and continuing its
counter-recruitment work at campuses across the nation.
Read student statements at Monday's press conference in Holyoke, and
learn of the solidarity march by UMass students for HCC students on
Thursday, October 6, 2005. http://www.traprockpeace.org/counter_recruitment/
CAN has established a Repression Working Group. Campus
activists and organizations may start a CAN chapter through the CAN
website. Start soon, in time for the "On The Frontlines"
counter-recruitment conference for students and their allies at
UCAL/Berkeley, Oct 22-23, sponsored by CAN and the Military Out of Our
Schools coalition. The conference is a critically important national
conference on counter-recruitment and, for CAN chapters, their 4th
national conference. http://www.campusantiwar.net
The Campus Antiwar Network is the national, democratic,
independent and grassroots network of campus antiwar organizations. It
is "owned and operated" by students. The conference follows
CAN's coast to coast counter-recruitment actions at universities
and colleges this year and last, and comes on the heels of the huge
"College Not Combat - Relief Not War" contingents called by CAN at the
DC and San Francisco marches on 9/24. Photos are the DC and San
Francisco contingents are available at http://www.traprockpeace.org
