Tell A Friend

Much of the antiwar movement believes the actions by many in Berkeley to be their savior. The town’s counterrecruitment actions have become the model for actions for the past month and a half. And the walkouts by more than 700 students to show solidarity with the city council's decision to label the marine recruitment center as an unwelcome entity was profound. But has any reaction other than a backlash led by Republicans occurred? No.

The plans to capitalize off of the success of Berkeley have failed. It's time to move forward.

Students should pay attention to those students taking action in Washington, D.C. this weekend. Use Winter Soldier and student actions by groups like Our Spring Break to create follow-up efforts in your college’s community.

I am pleased to say that students and faculty from my college are coming together on March 19th to march from the school to the plaza in the Chicago Loop area where the big citywide march will take off from after a rally.

To the youth of America, we must get organized and focused now. There’s not a moment to lose.
