Campus Antiwar Network is calling for a student and youth bloc in sector 6 of the RNC Welcoming Committee’s map(https://lists.riseup.net/www/d_read/rnc08/WCSite/sectormap.jpg.) The Republicans are laying all the conditions for the destruction of our future, so the least we can do is fuck up their convention. One of the first things many delegates are going to see en route to the Excel Center is the power of young people resisting empire. We refuse to be cannon fodder for the wars of the rich and to sit idly by while tuition increases and job prospects for college and high school graduates continue to decline. By interfering with the continuation of business as usual, we are fighting for all of our brothers and sisters struggling to pay off their student loans, holding down multiple jobs in this declining economy, or off on the other side of the earth trying to pay for college by oppressing other peoples. We are also protesting their attacks on immigrants and people of color. We are demanding an end to the militarization of our schools. We are taking back our communities. END US EMPIRE!–CAMPUS ANTIWAR NETWORK
Join us September 1-4 in St Paul! For more information email

 The Campus Antiwar Network is proud to stand with Corey Glass and thousands of protesters across the country in demanding that Canada stop the deportation of war resisters back to the United States. Those soldiers with the courage to honor both their conscience and the overwhelming majority of citizens of both Canada and the United States who now oppose the war in Iraq should be commended, not subjected to courts martial and jail time. Prime Minister Stephen Harper should respect the wishes of the Canadian House of Commons, which passed a resolution on June 3 to allow U.S. conscientious objectors to apply for permanent resident status in Canada. Canada has a rich tradition of honoring the bravery of soldiers who refused to fight in Vietnam by letting them stay in the country. The debacle in Iraq, which has costs thousands of soldiers’ lives, shattered tens of thousands more, and killed over a million Iraqis, is no more worth—fighting and dying—for, and the soldiers who refuse to take part in it are no less deserving of Canada’s protection. It is time for this war to stop, and the soldiers who refuse to fight it are at the forefront of the movement to bringing the rest of their brothers and sisters home. The Campus Antiwar Network has been working to organize students across the country to end the war since before it began, and we are honored to work with soldiers and groups such as Iraq Veterans Against the War to unite students, soldiers, and veterans in our common purpose. Stop the deportation of Corey Glass! End the occupation! Bring the troops home now! Coordinating Committee The Campus Antiwar Network |

 Calling all University of California Students and Alumni - No more Nukes at our School!
Background on University of California’s Nuclear Labs:
The University of California (UC) has managed the two oldest and largest nuclear weapons labs since their creation nearly 60 years ago. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have been at the forefront of the research and design of all nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal. University employees even created the bombs that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Over the last five years, the UC has partnered with such multi-national corporations as Bechtel Group and BWXT to continue managing the labs as a limited liability corporation.
Five reasons the UC should sever ties to the labs:
* The UC is implicitly endorsing non-compliance with the UN Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty by participating in the creation of new nuclear weapon technologies.
* The nuclear industry is notorious for its devastating environmental and health impacts.
* Nuclear weapons testing and waste disposal from the labs is a major factor in the ongoing genocide of Native American peoples today. The Nevada Test Site and the proposed waste disposal site at Yucca Mountain are both on Western Shoshone land.
* Bechtel Group, UC’s lab-management partner, has a long history of irresponsible environmental practices and human rights violations. Currently, they are one of the largest profiteers of the Iraq War.
* UC holds no real control over research directions or policy at the labs nor does the funding they receive from the Department of Energy go towards anything but the labs themselves. Their management is in name only and simply acts as a stamp of legitimacy for the nuclear weapons, military-industrial complex.
