[SDCPJ] Wars start with gun ranges in our schools--protest Oct. 14!

A special note: It is VERY important for the local peace movement to turn out for this protest. It's being organized mostly by youth of color from working-class communities that are exploited for cannon fodder. They turned out over 100 at a school board meeting in April, but sadly, almost no one from the peace coalition's large list responded to the call. See http://www.projectyano.org/educationnotarms/April22_2008.html

If you really want to see more student anti-war activism and a diverse peace movement, this is your chance to show it. Take off early from school or work, if necessary, but please get over to the school board meeting on Oct. 14!

Also, please let us know if you can help transport students from Mission Bay HS.

San Diego Unified School Board Meeting

They would rather have our students go into the military than to college. It's your chance to help end the militarization of our YOUTH!

Students, parents and teachers have been protesting the 11 gun ranges operated by Jr. ROTC in San Diego high schools. Gun ranges are not required for Jr. ROTC; cities like Chicago have removed them. Join us to demand the same!

Come to the Education Center, 4100 Normal St., San Diego

We will address the board at 3pm. WE NEED YOU THERE BY 2:45 pm

¡PROTESTE CONTRA EL USO DE ARMAS

POR LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS

EN NUESTRAS ESCUELAS!

¡Los estudiantes, padres de familia y maestros,
necesitan su apoyo!

14 DE OCTUBRE DE 2008

Reunión de la Junta Educativa del Distrito Escolar Unificado de San Diego

Los representantes prefieren que nuestros hijas e hijos se enlisten en las fuerzas armadas en lugar de ir a la universidad. ¡Ésta es su oportunidad de eliminar la militarización de nuestra juventud!

Los estudiantes, padres de familia y maestros han protestado contra la existencia de 11 campos de tiro en las preparatorias del distrito por el JROTC. Los campos de tiro no son un requisito en el programa de JROTC; algunas ciudades como Chicago los han eliminado. ¡Apóyennos para exigir lo mismo!
