MASS MOBILIZATION AND NIGHTTIME 
STUDENT EVENT IN NYC!!!


As a complement to the national march being organized in 
New York City by United for Peace and Justice, there will also be 
a student/youth event at 8:00 pm at Columbia University on the 
night of the 15th.  The National Campus Antiwar Network and United 
for Peace and Justice have endorsed the event, and it is being 
hosted by the Columbia University Antiwar Coalition.  


Current confirmed speakers include among others former 
weapons inspector Scott Ritter, Dalia Hashad of the ACLU, Michael 
Letwin of New York Labor Against the War, Amy Goodman from WBAI, 
and Anthony Arnove, editor of Iraq Under Siege.  Confirmed 
performers include Welfare Poets and also spoken word artists from 
Def Poetry Jam.  In addition to speakers and music we will also 
have refreshments and tables for groups to share information.  The 
location is Barnard Hall at 3001 Broadway Avenue, at 117th street.

There will be a $5 suggested donation, the proceeds of 
which will be used to provide transportation for tri-state-area 
students to a national student anti-war conference in Chicago on 
February 22-23.  Housing will be available for people who will 
need to stay in the city overnight; for further information on 
requesting housing, or if you are able to provide it, please email 
the housing committee at studenthousing0215@yahoo.com.  

Due to space limitations, those who wish to insure 
admittance are strongly advised to email Sarah Jane Schmidt at 
studenttickets0215@yahoo.com to reserve seats.  We request that 
local antiwar organizers handle that and then send her one email 
with a list of names instead of hundreds of individual emails!  
Also anyone who can be at Columbia early (around 5pm) to volunteer 
would be much appreciated.  If you wish to volunteer, contact 
studentvolunteers@yahoo.com.  In addition, any groups that have 
banners are invited to bring them to be hung around the outside of 
the event as a show of solidarity.

This event should provide a great way for students/youth to 
make connections and share ideas, and we hope that as well as 
being a fun night that it will also provide a boost to the 
movement.
