Nov. 2,
1 PM
Hunter College outside West Building
(Take the 6 to 68 street Hunter College, or the F to Lexington Ave. and 63rd st)
From: UFTersToStopTheWar:
Army Recruiters are coming to Hunter as part of a job fair hosted by career services. (As if killing people and bombing cities were a viable career option!) These recruiters will be there to lie, cheat and steal the future of poor students. It is up to us to prevent any students from being taken away from their studies, to fuel the war machine that has already been the cause of the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqis and 2,000 American soldiers. Our efforts have had an effect which is evidenced by the army's missing recruitment goals. The Army missed its recruiting goals by the widest margin since 1979. This is certainly a crisis and they will use all the means at their disposal to entice new recruits to join. This is why we need to be there every time they try to recruit at any of our schools. With the growth and successes of the Counter Recruitment movement there has also been an increase in administrative repression..
It is of the utmost importance that on Nov. 2 there be a large number of people in solidarity with Hunter students while they protest the recruiters.
We encourage everyone to come to the protest outside the building at 1pm and for Hunter students to go to the career fair and grill the military recruiters about their lies and make sure they don't recruit any students!
