STUDENT STRIKE
Against the RNC!
A Theatric Walkout and March to Arrest the War Criminals
September 4, 2008

The Republican National Convention is coming to the Twin Cities September 1 – 4 to promote their criminal policies of war and corporate corruption. We need to send a very different message to the world. We will not allow business as usual to continue while our city is used to promote the unending occupation of Iraq, paid for by under-funding public education, and fought by those recruited in the Pentagon's racist poverty draft.

That's why Youth Against War & Racism and others are calling for a massive student walkout on September 4th, followed by a festival of resistance featuring music, speakers, workshops, and more. It will all lead up to a huge, theatric, visually spectacular "March to Arrest the War Criminals." Details of time and place to be announced soon!

*** Get leaflets for your school BEFORE summer break!
Call Tyrus at 651-210-5342 to arrange getting leaflets, or pick some up at the next YAWR meeting.

*** Get active! ***
We need your help mobilizing this summer at concerts, festivals, and other gatherings. We need artists, musicians and actors to prepare an amazing day on Sept. 4th. There will be lots of volunteer opportunities and regular planning meetings all summer, so get in touch and plug in!
