Worldwide Demonstrations Build Momentum for National Student Strike

May 9, 2020 / marinoonofre

The National Student Strike for Books Not Bombs, will take place March 5th on campuses across the US and the world. The strike is building a wave of campus sentiment against the Bush Administration’s war plans in Iraq. The event was originally called for and is being coordinated by the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC), a collection of 15 student and youth organizations whose members organizations represent large and diverse constituencies stretching across the US.

Thousands of students on over 200 campuses have pledged their support for this day of national student resistance.

On March 5th, high school and college students will demonstrate their collective opposition to the Bush Administration’s plans for a pre-emptive, unilateral war in Iraq and call for better-funded and more accessible schools. Students are also demanding that their campuses serve education instead of war by removing ROTC and JROTC and replacing them with financial aid and college preparatory programs. They call for local administrative non-compliance with and the federal repeal of the provision of the “No Child Behind Act” which forces high schools to give their students names over to military recruiters or lose federal funds.

“We demand that Bush bring our troops home now. We don’t want to see our friends die in a needless war,” said Amanda Flott, a junior at the University of Kansas.

Many students say that the latest round of tuition hikes and aid cuts across the country are a “war tax” on the poor. “Working www.healthandrecoveryinstitute.com/soma-carisoprodol-muscle-relaxant/ class youth will have to fight and die while students at home are seeing their education undermined,” said Ben Waxman, a Philadelphia area high school student. “I want to go to college, not fight for global US domination.”

On Feb. 15th, the world experienced the largest outpouring of support for peace since the Vietnam era as an estimated 6 million people worldwide attended protests in over 500 cities. “Now the campuses are doing our part to stand up for a better tomorrow,” said Amanda Crater, a junior at UC-Berkeley. The worldwide peace demonstrations have significantly increased awareness of and participation in the strike.

Since the initial call to action was circulated by the NYSPC, students across the world have joined on to the Books Not Bombs strike campaign. In Austraila, Spain, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Brazil, and Scotland students will be striking in solidarity with the US students. Sarah Ahmed of the Muslim Students Association said, “its the people on the streets and on the campuses across the globe who are giving UN diplomats their credibility to resist this war.”

As a prepatory event, students will hold local press conferences early next week to announce their strikes and walkouts. An as-accurate-as-possible list of high schools and colleges participating in the strike will be posted at <www.nyspc.net> no later than Wednesday evening, Feb. 26. See <www.nyspc.net> for more details including a press kit and weblinks to NYSPC member organizations.

NYSPC Statement

April 29, 2020 / marinoonofre

Due to recent domestic and international events related to Bush’s “war on terrorism” we feel the need to expand on our principle opposing a U.S. military response and in support of a foreign policy based on social and economic justice not military and corporate oppression. This statement is a working document but was created to address recent atrocities caused by U.S. military aggression and foreign policy.

NYSPC opposes:

U.S. military occupation and modern day colonialism including: foreign control of land, water, agriculture, infrastructure, and governance; as well as U.S. financial and political support of another government to do
thereof (i.e. Vieques, Philippines, and Palestine)
U.S. military offensives and retaliation against www.healthandrecoveryinstitute.com/tramadol-online/ entire nations and groups of civilians in the name of attacking individual “terrorists” and “terrorist networks” (examples include but are not limited to:
Afghanistan, Palestine, North Korea, China, Iraq, Iran, etc.)
Ethnic cleansing and genocide-Use of the military to block humanitarian and medical aid for civilians, block access to press and international observers and to destabilize and destroy communication systems
Defining “terrorism” as exclusively individual attacks on civilians while sanctioning state ordered police and military terrorism of civilians. NYSPC opposes both state and individual acts of terrorism and the depiction of whole nations of people as “terrorists”.
Massive incarcerations and detentions of civilians by police and military

STRIKE GOES INTERNATIONAL!

NYSPC has been in contact with student and youth movements from across the globe and is excited to announce that participation in the March 5th National Student Strike for Books Not Bombs is going to be much larger than we thought.
So far, we have received confirmation from the Spanish Students Union and the national organization: Students Against Sanctions and War in Canada that the strike will be taking place nationally in those countries.

We have also been in contact with students in the UK, Austraila, Brazil, Mexico and the EU about interest in the March 5th strike. We will www.fertileheart.com/buy-prednisone-online/ provide a full list of countries and campuses involved when it is ready.

NYSPC welcomes the solidarity and participation of our brothers and sitsters outside US borders and we call on other nations’ youth and students to take up the call as well. Feel free to re-write the call to action so it reflects your own national and local demands.

If you are involved in a student or youth movement outside the US, contact us to register your participation in the strike. Our Spanish-translated version of the call to action and other resources are available here.

STUDENT GROUPS PLAN WALKOUT TO PROTEST WAR

February 1, 2020 / marinoonofre

Students at hundreds of high schools and colleges nationwide are planning a walkout on Wednesday to protest the Bush administration’s plans for war in Iraq.

The student strike is being coordinated by the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition, an organization of 15 student groups that came together after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The coalition, which calls the action “Books not Bombs,” has linked student protests against war in Iraq with a call for better-financed schools.

“We’re getting about 10 schools a day contacting us to participate, and it’s probably about 35-40 percent high schools,” said Andy Burns, an organizer who is signing up schools from his office in Little Rock, Ark.

Mr. Burns said he expected about 300 colleges and high schools to participate in the walkout. Many of the students organizing next week’s action have portrayed the latest round of tuition increases at state colleges and universities as a “war tax” on the poor.

“We’re walking out of our classes because it’s completely ridiculous that students in Iraq, who are exactly the same as us, will have to face the consequences of a unilateral war,” said Amanda Flott, a University of Kansas student who is a spokeswoman for the coalition. “Also, at a time when many students are already priced out of higher education, the increase in funding for the military will decrease the money available for education, all to support a war that in my mind is not justifiable.”

From Chico State University in California to Castleton State College in Vermont, students are planning a variety of events for the walkout, including antiwar rallies and a mock election, with ballots to be sent to Congress on which protesters can cast votes against the war and for education.

The coalition said that student groups in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Brazil and Scotland were organizing strikes in solidarity with the American students.

300 US schools expected to organize walkouts

November 3, 2019 / marinoonofre

The “National Student Strike for Books Not Bombs,” will take place tomorrow, March 5th on campuses across the US and the world. Tens of thousands thousands of US students will stop participating in business as usual for some part of the day to demonstrate to the world that the campuses do not accept the Bush vision of endless war decreased opportunity.

“We’re not going to sit around while we watch ourselves get priced out of education,” said Ben Waxman, a 17-year old student from Philadelphia. “We’re going to resist.”

As of Sunday evening, 230 high school and college campuses have pledged their support for this day of national student resistance, with new school registrations continuing to pour in each minute. Organizers expect 300 campuses organizing a local strike or walkout.

Local participants are planning a diverse array of tactics including teach-ins, sit-ins, rallies, banner-drops, puppet shows, snowball fights, and of course, strikes and walkouts as they call for their campuses and government to serve www.healthsupportyou.com/accutane-isotretinoin/ education instead of war.

Students will walk out of classes all over New York City during the morning, and a final convergence point will be a massive rally at Hunter College at 2:30 pm. Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles schools will also hold city-wide student rallies.

At many convergence points, youth and students will take a “vote” to stop the war and increase funding for education. The ballots will be counted and sent to congressional representatives to underscore the message. “We’re excerising our electoral power while taking direct action,” said Waxman.

Resources for press, including an updated list of campuses and local organizer’s contact info are available on the NYSPC’s website at: www.nyspc.net/presspg.html. See the New York Time’s weekend story on the strike at: www.nyspc.net/nyt3-1.html.

The “National Student Strike” event is coordinated by the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC). The call for a student strike has been taken up by students in Canada, Spain, Australia, the UK, France,Bulgaria, Switzerland, and elsewhere.

Lobby Day

August 5, 2019 / marinoonofre

On March 5th, on the eve of the war with Iraq, almost 500 high school and college campuses participated in the “Books Not Bombs” student strike to tell politicians and school administrators that we were against a war with Iraq. Despite opposition here at home and around the world, the Bush administration escalated its attack on Iraq. The United States today is engaged in an unjust war and occupation with untold human and financial costs. At the same time our schools and social services are under attack as local, county and state governments find themselves in deep financial crisis. In fact, the cost of one day of war on Iraq (about $1.1 Billion) is enough money to prevent cuts to education programs in the entire 2003 fiscal year.*

The Bush administration has made his priorities clear. We know that Iraq is one stop in a longer campaign of a pre-emptive “war on terror.” As youth and students we understand that this will only mean more bloodshed, more budget cuts, and an increased attack on our democratic rights. WE as the youth of the U.S. have to step up and play a role in making the government accountable to OUR priorities.

As we saw with the March 5th Student Strike, we show our power best collectively that’s why the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition calls for a

NATIONAL YOUTH AND STUDENT LOBBY DAY MAY 6th , 2003

In the weeks leading up to the lobby day high school and college campuses can build up to the lobby day by:

registering people to vote
collecting the ‘i will vote for books not bombs’ pledge cards
holding teach-ins and/or workshops on the effects of war on our schools and communities including discussion of the budget and fiscal crisis that are occurring all around the country

On May 6th take your pledge cards and a delegation of students to visit the local healthblog247.com/using-phentermine-weight-loss/ offices of your Congressional representatives and/or Senators to demand:

an end to the war/occupation of Iraq and prevent future war drives
support international law and the UN to ensure self-determination and democracy for the Iraqi people
focus on OUR priorities of funding education, health care, job training and rebuilding our communities not war.

Then once you’ve made your visit let us know how many cards you collected and the number of students who went to turn the cards in to the local congressional offices. You can register your event by emailing or online at http://nyspc.net/lobbyday.html

“I Will Vote for Books not Bombs” Pledge cards and other information and resources will be available at www.nyspc.net

A Young People’s Agenda

June 30, 2019 / marinoonofre

With every passing year, the divide between the needs of young people and the policies of our government grow
deeper. Youth and students are organizing to increase money for education, for peace, for environmental justice, for a just immigration policy, for quality healthcare and for worker’s rights. At the same time, our government has pursued policies that have de-funded our schools, lead us to war, polluted our environment, scapegoated and attacked
undocumented workers, crippled our healthcare system, lowered wages and have made it extremely difficult for
workers to join a union.

We believe, now more than ever, that it is time to demand the policies of our government barefootpuppets.com/priligy-dapoxetine/ change. By uniting under a
common agenda youth and students across the country can collaborate and effectively exercise our political power.
In the wake of the 2006 mid-term election, one in which young people came out in record numbers to demand
change, we believe we need to come together to build on this political momentum. The current moment is critical for
active engagement on the issues impacting the daily lives of young people. We, as young people, from a variety of
organizations and diversity of backgrounds, have come together to respond to these policies comprehensively and
collectively, and together we will not rest until our agenda is met.
