YOUTH AND STUDENTS UNITE IN SEPTEMBER TO SHUT DOWN THE WAR!
Coming off the heels of the powerful demos with strong youth and student contingents in Washington this past Saturday, Sept 15th, we want to invite you to join us in Washington , DC and Los Angeles during the Troops Out Now Coalition's Encampment, September 22 -29th. Friday, September 28th will be the Youth and Student Day of Action. Then join us Saturday, Sept 29th in a Youth and Student Contingent at the March on Washington and LA. We must keep the pressure on!
Youth and students from the US to Iraq are under attack. Military recruiters prey on our communities and our campuses, trying to get us and our friends to kill and be killed in a criminal war. Money that should be being spent to make education affordable for everyone and provide scholarships is instead being spent to continue the four and half year old occupation of Iraq . Police harass us for simply being young, for being a person of color, or for being lesbian/gay/bi/trans/queer. Bush's top war adviser, Army Lt.Gen. Douglas Lute, says that "it makes sense to certainly consider [reinstating the draft]." It's time to raise our voices and our fists and fight back.
Organizers and activists from around the country will be flooding D.C. with a sea of resistance during the Encampment and March to Stop the War, and youth and students must be there too! Youth organizers have been organizing a day during the Encampment solely for youth and students.
Organizing the Encampment to Stop the War and the Youth and Student Day of Action is an enormous logistical and financial challenge. But we are determined to move forward -- please consider making a donation to help with organizing at troopsoutnow.org/donate.shtml.
The Youth and Student Day of Action will be held on Friday, September 28, at the Encampment site. We'll gather at the Encampment on Thursday night and Friday morning to discuss and plan direct actions that will happen in D.C. on September 28.
We've set-up a website (youthantiwarweek .wordpress.com) where we'll continue to post fliers and updated information about logistics for Thursday night and Friday. Also, if you are interested in adding your name or your organization to the list of endorsers below, please contact us at youthantiwarweek (at) gmail.com.
Friday, Sept 28th on Encampment site in DC there will be An Outdoor Concert for Human Rights in the Philippines called 'NEVER AGAIN!' featuring artists: Blue Scholars, Kiwi (formerly of Native Guns), Koba, Deep Foundation, Kinding Sindaw, Anakbayan Youth, and Kadena. Join Filipino-American Artists Call for a Withdrawal of US Military Aid to the Philippines and an End to the Undeclared Martial Law Under the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Regime. Sept. 21 marks the 35th anniversary of Martial Law as declared by the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines back in 1972.
We're really excited for this unprecedented day of action where youth and students from around the country will be able to come together and decide collectively how we want to take a stand against the war machine. If there is not already a transportation center in your area, please consider organizing one so you can get yourself, your friends, or your campus/community organization to D.C. on Friday to join with hundreds of other youth to shut down the war. Stay with us through Saturday and join the youth and student contingent in the March to Stop the War.
