National Conference Establishes Student Anti-War Coalition
CHICAGO- About 350 students representing over 100 college and high
school
campuses gathered here for a national student conference on February
21-22.
The conference, which took place at Loyola University, established the
Campus Anti-War Network; a national student anti-war coalition
representing
thousands of students in campus based anti-war committees across the
country.
The conference adopted points of unity opposing a US/UN war on Iraq,
opposition to the UN sanctions on Iraq, defense of civil liberties and
opposition to racist attacks. Proposals to support the March 5th call
for
national student strike, a call for an April 5th day of action, and in
the
event that the war starts, a call for student strikes and other actions
the
day bombing begins. Students are a major layer in the new anti-war
movement. The establishment of a national student anti-war
organization is
a major step forward for the movement as a whole.
