And a CUNY Professor from Educators to Stop the War

With all the justifications for the War in Iraq, from weapons of mass destruction to democracy being proven a lie, millions of people across the country are turning against the war. Meanwhile the priorities of our government are being shown as thousands of poor and black people in New Orleans are dying from starvation and floods with no aid, while billions are spent to kill the people of Iraq.

Already 1,871 U.S. troops have died and it is estimated that more than 100,000 Iraqis have been killed by this illegal war. Bush's approval ratings have hit there all time low at 35 percent while polls show that 55 percent of Americans want the troops to come home now. Wherever Bush has gone he has faced anti-war protestors and
anger from military mothers, to veterans, and ordinary citizens furious at this war and racist neglect of the people of New Orleans.

As the U.S. government seeks more bodies to fight this unjust war military recruiters have stepped up their actions in NYC and at CUNY schools targeting poor and working class students with false promises of money for college and jobs. But students have fought back across the country kicking military recruiters out of
their schools and exposing their lies. It's time that CUNY students and professors come together to organize and say no to war! Come to a panel and discussion with other CUNY students and Professors to discuss how we at CUNY can fight to end this unjust and illegal war and keep military out of ourr schools!
