This October 5th we are calling for nationwide protests where campuses will be shut down and student walkouts will bring business-as-usual to a halt. To do this we need a generation of leaders who challenge the stifling politics-as-usual atmosphere with a "Be Realistic: Demand the Impossible" spirit and the moral clarity concentrated in the statement of, "I would rather die than to have than have anyone tortured to save my life" – former U.K. Ambassador Craig Murray. From the most experienced organizers to youth just beginning to get involved in political activism, we have a schedule that will be exciting for all:

-Guest Speakers: including military resister Lt. Watada’s father, Larry Everest (author of Oil, Power and Empire) speaking on the current situation in the Middle East, WCW spokesperson Sunsara Taylor and a speakers discussing global warming and torture.

-Workshops on October 5th, Active Social Investigation, and how to organize campuses.

-In depth political discussions on current events and strategies for change.

-A film screening of the Vietnam GI resistance documentary “Sir! No Sir!”

-Outreach teams to bring the message of Oct. 5 to campuses and in communities.

-A Night of Art and Music: Perform your poetry, spoken word, music, etc…

-Street Theater in Downtown San Francisco!

Youth should leave this conference with new organizing skills, a vision for October 5th, and a new sense of possibility for this growing movement to Drive Out the Bush Regime!
