Come eat and be part of a community-led resistance to the discriminatory policies of military recruiters, who target communities of color and the poor to fill the ranks of our armies. Challenge the military machine, which is putting a generation of youth in harm's way, even as opportunities for higher education are being cut and underfunded. We must come together to learn about what we can do to get the military out of our schools, and build strong ties as youth who are ready to be the change we wish to see in this world.

Since after WWII we have been saddled with the "Biker" phenomenon. Every time the political situation gets tense the bikers are there acting as a warning from the powers that be to stay in line. The Armed Forces parade in Santa Cruz last Saturaday was a glaring example.

UC San Francisco, March 25, 2005 - Today witnessed a passionate display of concern and anger at the decision that the University of California will bid with corporate war profiteer, Bechtel, for the nuclear labs at Los Alamos.

In a time when many schools are on break, more than four dozen students, mostly organized by UC Santa Cruz's Students Against War (SAW), woke at 4:30am to attend the UC Regents meeting in San Francisco. With strong words and strong actions, these students did everything in their power to ensure that they would not be silenced and that the interests of the globe would not be ignored. However, the UC Regents voted unanimously to bid, with Bechtel and two other suspicious corporations, on the management of Los Alamos labs.

The University of California has been responsible for every nuclear weapon in the U.S. stockpile, including those dropped on Japan. This year will be the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
