ANNOUNCING A CALL FOR A NATIONAL STUDENT ANTIWAR CONFERENCE!!!
When: FEBRUARY 22, 23, 24
Where: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Why: At this critical time, the student-based antiwar movement needs to come together and form a national network that can coordinate actions and share resources.
The time has come for a NATIONAL CONFERENCE, to build on the successes of the regional conferences in November and unite the student movement from coast to coast. On a national conference call on 12/11, elected representatives from antiwar committees and networks across the country expressed a strong desire to hold the conference in New York.
People for Peace, the Columbia University/Morningside Heights antiwar coalition, is offering to host such a conference, in coordination with other antiwar committees in New York. We believe that one coalition or one city cannot decide the structure of such a conference or the process by which it will be run. Therefore, we call for a NATIONAL PLANNING COMMITTEE, composed of elected representatives from individual coalitions, citywide and/or regional networks, that can begin to plan the conference in the most democratic, accountable way possible.

In solidarity,
Laura Durkay, for the People for Peace coordinating committee -- Yoshie
