*Protest Against Military Recruiters*
WHEN: Thursday, April 21st * 10:30 am
WHERE: The Fountain on Sproul Plaza, UC Berkeley
Counter Recruitment has become a national issue, and it's working. Between these efforts and widespread anger about the war, all branches of the United States Military have seen drastic drops in their recruitment rates. In February, the Army missed its recruiting goal for the first time in nearly five years, and it missed its March goal by 32 percent. The Army Reserve is 10 percent behind their year-to-date recruiting target and the National
Guard is 26 percent short, while the need for soldiers is on the rise.
Counter Recruitment has proven to be an effective tool in actually hindering the Military's ability to carry out this immoral and unjust war, and Berkeley Stop the War Coalition has been working to bring the Counter Recruitment movement to UC Berkeley's campus.
Recently, the Associated Students at the University of California (ASUC) passed a resolution that argued that military recruiters (who refuse to recruit gays and lesbians) violate the University of California's anti-discrimination policy and therefore should not be allowed access to ASUC facilities (SB 107). Still, military recruiters have announced their intention to show up at the Career Fair in the MLK student union. We have to build the biggest protest possible to let them know that we won't stand for the military's discriminatory policies and that we oppose the war on Iraq
that they are recruiting for. Join a growing movement of schools that are taking a stand against military recruitment on campuses!
COME THE LAST PLANNING MEETING & CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE TEACH-IN FOR THE PROTEST WEDNESDAY APRIL 20th, 225 WHEELER @ 7pm
