(The Towson Anti-War Coalition STRONGLY encourages you to organize in your own specific way in opposition to war in Iraq. Take what you do best and use that to show opposition to a war in Iraq. For faculty members, see if you can get your department (Sociology, Philosophy, History, etc.) to publicly speak in opposition to this war. Follow the example of the Theater department when they put on the Lysistrata reading and organize around your means. If you would like any help on this organizing feel free to contact the Towson Anti-War Coalition at tawc-AT-towsonantiwar.org or feel free to attend any meetings)

CLASS CANCELED
WHEN: In the event of a U.S. invasion of Iraq, all classes will be canceled in opposition to this unjustifiable attack. Voices from college campuses, city streets, and communities across the nation will unite to make our message heard: we will not sit quietly in class, we will not passively go to work, we will not turn a blind eye to U.S. lead terrorism. When thousands of innocent lives are put at risk, we will walk out.
WHY: Because…
· We value all life, regardless of nationality, over profit.
· We understand that U.S. aggression does not create a safer world.
· We will not let them say that this war is being fought in our name.
· If we don't take a stand now, then when?
On the day war is “officially” declared, we call on all members of the Towson University community to disrupt their daily lives in protest and join with tens of thousands throughout the nation in saying, WE DONT WANT THIS WAR! Please meet on the Beach (grassy area in front of Linthicum and the Lecture Hall) at the following time:
If war is declared in the morning hours meet at 12:00 the day of
If war is declared any time after noon, meet at 12:00 the following day
