Students Say NO to War in Iraq!
College Not Combat, Troops Out Now!
NATIONAL WEEK OF CAMPUS ACTION
Week of March 13-17WHY YOUTH & STUDENTS NEED TO STAND UP:
The illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq has taken the lives of over 2,000 American soldiers and more than 100,000 Iraqis. It has destroyed the lives of countless more. This war affects young people everywhere, at home
and abroad. Iraqis are faced with the brutality of occupation, under threat of bombs, guns, and torture. In the United States, we see our educational prospects diminished and recruitment to the military held up as our only viable future.Now is the time for young people to stand up. And we are joined by a growing
majority that sees the lies, the torture, the chemical weapons, and the corruption and arrogance of our politicians and says NO MORE.There is a student movement bringing this message to campuses around the
country: kicking military recruiters off of a dozen schools, defending free speech in the face of repressive administrators and government spying,
bringing grassroots relief to New Orleans and the truth about the occupation to our schools. On the third anniversary of the war in March 2006, this movement’s voice will be heard!WHAT YOU CAN DO

Time 5:00-6:00 pm
Location: Brower Commons, College avenue, New Brunswick
Meet in the basement of Demarest Hall at 4:30 PM at the
basement of Demarest Hall, and walk over to Brower at 5.
There we will make everyone look dead and go over what’s
happening. Have to lie still on the pavement for 1 hour.
You can lie anyway you want. If you want to lie face up,i suggest bringing something like an old t-shirt to lay over
your face. Wear a hat/hoddie to protect your head from the ground.
Have fake blood on you, either on your face/head or cloths. It will be
made of cornsyrup, water, and food dye. YOU WILL NOT be allowed to
get up and leave during the protest. It ruins the effect. If necessary, you may readjust your position.
At 6:00 PM, you can get up and leave, but not before.
