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.

Peace and Columbia University, visit http://www.peopleforpeace.org.

In solidarity,

Laura Durkay, for the People for Peace coordinating committee
