WALK OUT!

As we enter into the fifth year of the illegal occupation of Iraq, faced with the loss of almost 4,000 US soldiers and many times more Iraqi civilians, not to mention $3,100,000,000 of our money. We are told by our corporate-backed political leaders that we must spread “democracy” to the farthest corner of the globe: a cruel joke to anyone who has witnessed the police terrorism of our “republican” government. Meanwhile healthcare, education, and our democratic freedoms have taken a backseat to the racist War on Terror, which has, even in the words of many conservative pundits and and government officials, ruined the reputation of the United States and strengthened fundamentalism in the Islamic world. It is in these conditions that a coalition including De Anza Students for Justice, other progressive clubs and like-minded students and activists, has decided to enact a student walkout against the war. Join us at 11:45 AM between the Multicultural Center (MCC) and new building construction site, near Parking Lot B. The march will end at around 12:30 in the Main Quad for a series of musical and artistic performances, student speakers and an open mic.
