Students Against Sanctions and War in Iraq (SASWI)
Open call to all students across Canada and Quebec
Pan-Canadian Student Anti-War Conference
January 30 to February 2, 2003
University of Toronto,
Toronto, Ontario
Opposition to a new war on Iraq is growing worldwide. In Britain, over 400,000 people marched against war at the end of September, including thousands of students from all over Britain. The mobilization on October 26 of 100,000 in Washington, D.C. and 60,000 in San Francisco brought many thousands of students onto the streets to oppose the war against Iraq. And in Britain on October 31, dozens of protests took place at universities and colleges, including occupations at Cambridge University, Liverpool, Manchester, Brighton, and Leeds. In Sheffield, 500 students occupied a faculty building sponsored by Boeing. In London there were occupations at Goldsmith's, King's College, the London School of Economics, and many others.
In Canada and Quebec, anti-war coalitions are springing up on almost every campus with students building both their own campus anti-war actions and the January 18 North American day of action against war on Iraq. More recently, thousands of students just participated in the pan-Canadian day of action against war in Iraq on November 16-17 which mobilised 35,000 people in Canada and Quebec.
At a recent teach-in at the University of Toronto, students from fifteen different universities, colleges, and high schools took part in a discussion called "Students against war: Building an anti-war movement on the campuses". A consensus emerged that it is not only possible but also necessary to begin building an anti-war movement among students all across the country.
With the threat of war looming larger every day, we feel it is now time for students across Canada and Quebec to pull together in a unified network that can build a massive student movement against war in Iraq. Students Against War and Sanctions in Iraq (SASWI) would like to make an open call to all students to participate in a pan-Canadian student anti-war conference at the University of Toronto from Thursday, January 30 to Sunday, February 2, 2003. The conference will be accessible both to English- and French-speaking students.
Already a number of student anti-war coalitions have expressed interest in supporting, participating in, and endorsing the conference. We welcome any anti-war coalition, peace organisation, student union, cultural organisation, faith group, or student club that would like to get involved to send your endorsement to saswi2003-AT-yahoo.ca.
In the coming weeks, we will be circulating a tentative conference programme, including a timetable. We look forward to your feedback and hope to post final details as soon as they are ready on our website: www.project3media.com/iraq/.
We will also be organising committees of student volunteers to organise registration, housing, food, transportation, fundraising, and social events. All students in the Toronto area who are interested in working on one of the committees should contact saswi_logistics-AT-yahoo.ca.
The possibilities are huge of building a broad,inclusive student movement against war right across the country. We think that a pan-Canadian student anti-war co-ordination can play a role in helping to reach deeper into every school, every classroom, and every campus with the message that we can and must stop this war!
