Foothill Anti-Capitalist Action Committee Shuts Down Military Recruiters by Default (audio/mpeg 1.9MB)
The Foothill Anti-Capitalist Action Committee spread the word of a protest on November 1, 2005 against the military recruiters who table in the quad every Tuesday at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California. However on this Tuesday, the military recruiters failed to show up. It looks like the military learned about the protest and thought it would be a better idea to stay away from it, rather than be the focus of the demonstration.
About 15 people marched from the

Casa Grande Anti-Recruitment Protests
On October 7th and 20th of this school year the Military Recruiters showed up on the Casa Grande Campus. The first time the date of the protest was spread by word of mouth, the second time Nate passed out fliers to get the word around. We chanted, made signs, danced, made peace sign armbands, and talked to the recruiters. Both times we have had a great turn-out! If there is a next time, we will be bigger....

School Labor Dispute: SFUSD and SEIU Local 790
The results of Governor Schwarzenegger’s financial scheming combined with the long-term reverberations of Proposition 13 continue to manifest themselves. The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), like school districts throughout California, has been operating with less than an optimal amount of funding. Support from the community through bond measures and other efforts has made a difference in terms of being able to repair certain buildings and supplement areas such as libraries, art...
