Call to action to all K.U. Students, Faculty and Staff!
This March marks the 5th year of the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Responding to a call by the New Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which was a major force in organizing student opposition to the Vietnam War, we are calling upon the KU and Lawrence community to gather at Stauffer-Flint Lawn at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25 "to come together to send one loud resounding NO to the Bush administration and the Republican agenda, to the Democrats who refuse to carry out the mandate of their constituents, and to the University administrations that so often support war efforts." During this election year it is important that we recognize not only candidates' different positions on the occupation but also KU long-term institutional ties to the military-industrial complex. As such, we also call for a teach-in to bring a critical understanding of KU ties to the war effort. We have scheduled this event for 7p.m. at the ECM on the same day.
