If you know of anyone looking \nfor something to do on a Thursday night\, please encourage them to \nhead over to the Musi c Café. Alcohol will be served at the bar and \nit's a top notch facility .

Board of Education ? \nBuild the New Civil Rights Movement\nOrganize the March to the US Supreme Court\n\n----------------- -----\n\nOn May 14\, 2002 the federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Ci ncinnati\, Ohio ruled to uphold the affirmative action program at the Univ ersity of Michigan Law School. This stunning victory for affirmative actio n in Grutter v. Bollinger marks a turning point in the fight for integrati on and equality in America. \n\nThis victory proves that through mass mobi lization it was possible to do what most civil rights leaders\, political pundits and court-watchers said was impossible. We organized\, we fought a nd WE WON!! \n\nAll of our collective effort so far has paid off. Thousand s of people across the country have participated in the new civil rights m ovement in various ways\, from signing a petition\, to making a financial contribution\, to attending the district court trial in Detroit to marchin g in a cold\, drenching rain through the gray streets of Cincinnati at the appeals hearing on December 6\, 2001. \n\nThe fact of our victory must ga lvanize our collective determination and the narrow margin of our victory (a 5-4 decision) must serve as an alarm. We must summon new energy and new forces to the fight!\n\nNow the CRITICAL BATTLE lies ahead. The future of this nation hangs in the balance ? its progress\, democracy\, integration \, all civil rights and civil liberties will be determined by the outcome of this historic fight. The outcome of the Grutter case will either open u p a new fight for integration and equality in American education?the simpl e promise of Brown v. Board of Education?or it will kill Brown for all pra ctical purposes.\n\nNow affirmative action must be defended before the US SUPREME COURT in Washington DC. It is a very conservative body. We cannot win at the U.S. Supreme Court unless we mobilize tens of thousands of peop le to march on Washington when Grutter v. Bollinger is heard. No defender of affirmative action can have any illusions that this elite\, conservativ e organization will act for integration and equality unless they feel comp elled to do so. (There is no hearing date set at this point. The court may make the announcement this winter for a hearing date possibly as early as the winter or spring 2003.)\n\n\nOur victory in Cincinnati teaches us how to win\n\nBeyond its own intrinsic importance\, the victory in the UM Law School case provides a very important lesson in how to win the coming bat tle at the US Supreme Court. We must organize and mobilize the people of t his country who stand for integration and equality. A strong litigation st rategy is necessary but not sufficient of itself. Mass social struggle is the key. Just as litigation alone could not have dismantled Jim Crow and w on affirmative action in the 1960s\, litigation alone now cannot successfu lly defend affirmative action from the rightwing attack. \n\nWe have a pat tern and a framework for victory. The only question is\, can we together m obilize the sentiment and the forces in action that can move our society f orward and keep it from crashing backward. Our collective task now is to p repare the new civil rights movement for this next step. \n\nAll of us who have played a role so far should feel deep pride at our accomplishment. W e banded together and our determined effort won the day. History is callin g on all of us again\, this time louder and more insistently. Our first vi ctory must not have been in vain.\n\n\nWe are fighting to save Brown v. Bo ard of Education\n\nBy this case the fate of affirmative action will be de termined\, and with it\, every integration program of any kind\, every pol icy aimed at offsetting the institutional inequalities that shape and defo rm life and opportunity in America. Whether Brown v. Board of Education it self is to be overturned for practical purposes?all this hangs in the bala nce.\n\nThe first year after affirmative action was banned by the Fifth Ci rcuit Court in the Hopwood case\, black enrollment dropped more than 90% a nd Mexican-American enrollment dropped just short of 60% at the University of Texas School of Law. Now\, despite one of the most ambitious outreach and recruitment programs ever launched for minority students in higher edu cation\, the incoming class for the fall 2002 is only 7.5% Mexican-America n and 3% black. This is in the state of Texas which now has a 42% minority population!\n\nOver the last few years a concerted\, largely successful a nd overwhelmingly unopposed assault has taken place on integration plans i n K-12 education across the country. From Charlotte to Boston to Seattle\, voluntary K-12 desegregation plans have been eliminated by the judiciary despite broad public support by people of all races. Court-ordered desegre gation plans have been eliminated despite clear and undisputed evidence of ongoing segregation. \n\nThe outcome of this case will determine whether any desegregation program of any kind is banned by law. It will determine whether any positive measure of any kind that attempts to offset the funda mental social inequalities of race and sex will be legal?but it will also do much more than that. The outcome of Grutter will set the context for th e social and political development of our whole society just as each key U S Supreme Court decision concerning race\, racism and segregation has in t he past. For example\, Dred Scott in 1857\, Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896\, a nd Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.\n\nThe outcome of this case will b e the scale in which questions of social policy and justice are weighed fo r the foreseeable future. In form\, the decision of the court will be lega l but the content of the decision will be political and social. If we lose \, it will be a setback of historic proportions. Contrarily\, if we succee d in defending affirmative action at the US Supreme Court\, we will have a n opportunity to align our society with its aspiration and self-image of b eing a society that holds integration and equality of opportunity in high esteem. This will be no small task\, but if we win at the US Supreme Court \, it will open up avenues for progress that we can see only vaguely now.\ n\n\nWe have a plan and we need your help\n\nBAMN\, and United for Equalit y and Affirmative Action (UEAA is the umbrella organization of student int ervenors in Grutter v. Bollinger) are determined to win this fight. We see its ramifications and our consciousness of the magnitude of those ramific ations makes us utterly determined to organize the march to the US Supreme Court. Many thousands of people of all races around the country share thi s determination. Together\, we will build this march. We will do so irresp ective of what any other organization decides. However\, to succeed at the US Supreme Court we will almost certainly need to mobilize more forces th an any one or two organizations can mobilize on their own. \n\nAll civil r ights organizations must be united in this fight. Most civil rights organi zations have done too little to defend affirmative action. It is going to take a new\, grassroots\, independent\, mass civil rights movement to unit e all the existing civil rights organizations in a single effective strugg le to defend the gains of Brown v. Board of Education in American history. \n \n\n* Get involved in the movement *\n\nSign and Circulate the PLEDGE & CALL(http://www.bamn.com/pledge.htm) to be present when the US Supreme Co urt hears the University of Michigan Law School affirmative action case.

This class is not confined to a particular setting or time of day. Nobody asks if we want to attend. We don't need letters of reference or a high grade point average. It is taught everywhere\, open t o all. Our teachers are the media\, with their flow of violent images and messages\, and our society's values of consumerism\, rugged individualism and superiority. Consciously or not\, we are continually being schooled in the logic and practice of emotional\, verbal\, physical or structural vio lence. \n\nFrom Violence To Wholeness is a study and action program offere d by the Franciscan Pace e Bene organization that explores nonviolence as a creative\, powerful\, and effective process for addressing and resolving the conflicts in our lives and in the life of the world. Drawing on the v ision of Jesus\, Gandhi\, Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Shelley Douglass\, Fa nny Lou Hamer and many others\, this program offers resources to deepen th e journey from fear to freedom\, from despair to hope\, from violence to w holeness. Pace e Bene is convinced that one of the most important solution s to the growing crisis of violence lies in furnishing people from all wal ks of life with the tools\, and ongoing support\, to engage in powerful an d sustained nonviolent transformation of violence and conflict. \n\nRetrea t Facilitators:\nPresenters Cindy Preston-Pile and Ken Preston-Pile will a dapt the From Violence to Wholeness program to a retreat format and the wo rk being taken on by members of the Pax Christi USA Young Adult Forum.

On Wednesday\, November 20th\, thous ands of us must take history into our hands and do all we can to resist th e unjust\, immoral\, and illegitimate war that the U.S. government is plan ning to unleash on the people of Iraq. \nTo go up against all this we need a powerful movement of millions\, refusing to let this war be waged in ou r names\, and determined to stop it from being waged at all. Students have a special role to play in all this - throughout history it is the youth w ho have always been the first to step out there and build determined resis tance\, inspiring and making room for others to resist. \nNot in Our Name Bay Area Youth/Student Resources and Organizing Kit: \nStudents and youth \, contact Not in Our Name youth/student organizer Xochitl to get involved : e\;d\;x\;o\;c\;h\;i\;3\;@\;y\;a\ ;h\;o\;o\;.\;c\;o\;m\;\n \n- let her know which school your from. \n\nEvents and schools participating in the Nov. 20th N ot In Our Name National Day of Student Youth Resistance\nSouthern Cal scho ols and organizations involved\nCSUN\, LACC\, ELAC\, PCC\, SMC\, Moorpark College\, Pitzer College\, UCLA\, USC\, Glendale CC\, Venice High\, Santa Monica High\, Cal Arts\, College of the Canyons\, PHAT Net\, Wise Up!\, R& R!

Then students are probably coming later on to Union Square.\n\nOther cities and internationally\n\nAs far as other cities\, we have been getting e-mails from all over the place\; Northern CA\, Hartfor d\, Oklahoma. We have even gotten e-mails from Germany\, France and Pakist an from students who are trying to organize something for the 20th.

Take a poll on how the students are feelin g about the war (the person who posted about Mills madae me think of that) .\n2. Hand out fact sheets and maybe have something at the bottom that say s like\, 'This is the serious shit the Asses of Evil are planning. What ca n WE do to stop them? How can we show them we're SERIOUS? That standing wi th the people of the world and opposing our government's injustices are th e MAIN priorities in our lives?' 'We will not be lied to' or 'our futures depend on THIS\, not whether we skip math' (something sharper than that la st point\, but I think you know what I'm getting at) :-)\n3. Stage (formal /informal) debates between students and/or teach-ins with someone (like Mi les Solay out here) representing NION.\n4. Wear the NION t-shirts and take the pledge. In class\, at lunch\, etc. Ask teachers to lead students in t aking the pledge.\n5. The globe flag. Hang them in classrooms\, on the fla g pole\, etc.\n6. Then\, on NOV 19\, SATURATE the schools with flyers\, et c.\nThis way you kinda create a buzz and people get a sense of the serious ness of the situation\nPLEASE FORWARD...\n\n Geographical Scope: DTSTAMP:20081011T050518Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20021120 GEO:0.000000;0.000000 LOCATION:Berkeley\, California\, United States SUMMARY:The Not In Our Name National Day of Youth & Student Action UID:20081011T010518EDT-4SPgkvVOKo@69.73.141.125 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES CONTACT:Phone:617-821-1949 Email:fragola@fas.harvard.edu DESCRIPTION:Spend two days training\, strategizing\, and networking with st udent labor activists from the around the northeast region.

FMF staff\, interns\, and volunteers w ill also be doing local petitioning events in the Washington\, DC area to collect even MORE signatures!\n\nThere are many\, many reasons why this da y\, and this petition drive is so important\n\n* EC could cut in half t he number of unintended pregnancies in this country each year\n\n* EC c ould reduce the number of abortions by 800\,000 each year in the U.S. alon e\n\n* Only 1 in 5 women knows about EC (Kaiser Family Foundation surve y)\n\n* Doctors and pharmacists are allowed to 'opt out' of prescribing and dispensing EC if they choose\, making access difficult and even impos sible for many women. Wal-Mart\, increasingly the only pharmacy in rural areas\, does not dispense EC as a matter of corporate policy\n\n* EC is 95% effective if taken within the first 24 hours and yet is statistically safer than aspirin.\n\nWe need this important drug to be made available o ver the counter NOW to be able to fully control our reproductive lives. Y ou can continue to promote women?s reproductive health access by joining u s in this special critical effort. You can table with the ECOTC petitions\ , attend events like concerts\, plays\, and sporting events on your campus with ECOTC petitions\, and make announcements in your classes on Friday 6 th.

FMF staff\, interns\, and volunteers w ill also be doing local petitioning events in the Washington\, DC area to collect even MORE signatures!\n\nThere are many\, many reasons why this da y\, and this petition drive is so important\n\n* EC could cut in half t he number of unintended pregnancies in this country each year\n\n* EC c ould reduce the number of abortions by 800\,000 each year in the U.S. alon e\n\n* Only 1 in 5 women knows about EC (Kaiser Family Foundation surve y)\n\n* Doctors and pharmacists are allowed to 'opt out' of prescribing and dispensing EC if they choose\, making access difficult and even impos sible for many women. Wal-Mart\, increasingly the only pharmacy in rural areas\, does not dispense EC as a matter of corporate policy\n\n* EC is 95% effective if taken within the first 24 hours and yet is statistically safer than aspirin.\n\nWe need this important drug to be made available o ver the counter NOW to be able to fully control our reproductive lives. Y ou can continue to promote women?s reproductive health access by joining u s in this special critical effort.

In Britain\, over 400\,000 people marched against war a t the end of September\, including thousands of students from all over Bri tain. The mobilization on October 26 of 100\,000 in Washington\, D.C. and 60\,000 in San Francisco brought many thousands of students onto the stree ts to oppose the war against Iraq. And in Britain on October 31\, dozens o f protests took place at universities and colleges\, including occupations at Cambridge University\, Liverpool\, Manchester\, Brighton\, and Leeds. In Sheffield\, 500 students occupied a\nfaculty building sponsored by Boei ng. In London there were occupations at Goldsmith?s\, King?s College\, the London School of Economics\, and many others.\n\nIn Canada and Québec\, a nti-war coalitions are springing up on almost every campus with students b uilding both their own campus anti-war actions and the January 18 North Am erican day of action against war on Iraq. More recently\, thousands of stu dents just participated in the pan-Canadian day of action against war in I raq on November 16-17 which mobilised 35\,000 people in Canada and Québec. \n\nAt a recent teach-in at the University of Toronto\, students from fift een different universities\, colleges\, and high schools took part in a di scussion called 'Students against war: Building an anti-war movement on th e campuses'. A consensus emerged that it is not only possible but also nec essary to begin building an anti-war movement among students all across th e country.\n\nWith the threat of war looming larger every day\, we feel it is now time for students across Canada and Québec to pull together in a u nified network that can build a massive student movement against war in Ir aq. Students Against War and Sanctions in Iraq (SASWI) would like to make an open call to all students to participate in a pan-Canadian student anti -war conference at the University of Toronto from Thursday\, January 30 to Sunday\, February 2\, 2003. The conference will be accessible both to Eng lish- and French-speaking students.\n\nAlready a number of student anti-wa r coalitions have expressed interest in supporting\, participating in\, an d endorsing the conference. We welcome any anti-war\ncoalition\, peace org anisation\, student union\, cultural organisation\, faith group\, or stude nt club that would like to get involved to send your endorsement to us by email.\n\nIn the coming weeks\, we will be circulating a tentative confere nce programme\, including a timetable. We look forward to your feedback an d hope to post final details as soon as they are ready on our website: www .project3media.com/iraq/.\n\nWe will also be organising committees of stud ent volunteers to organise registration\, housing\, food\, transportation\ , fundraising\, and social events.

We think that a pan-Canad ian student anti-war co-ordination can play a role in helping to reach dee per into every school\, every classroom\, and every campus with the messag e that we can and must stop this war!\n\nTo endorse the conference or for more information: \ne-mail us or phone 416.533.6026. \n\nTo get involved i n one of the student committees (for students in the Toronto area): \ne-ma il s\;a\;s\;w\;i\;_\;l\;o\;g\;i\; 15\;t\;i\;c\;s\;@\;y\;a\;h\;o\;o\; 6\;c\;a\;\n or phone 416.533.6026.\n\nSASWI online: www.project3medi a.com/iraq/.\n\nTo join the pan-Canadian student anti-war listserve:\ne-ma il us\n\nThe following is a list of some of the organisations that have so far endorsed the Pan-Canadian Student Anti-War Conference: University of British Columbia Coalition Against War on the People of Iraq (CAWOPI)\, Un iversity of British Columbia Medical Students for Global Survival\, Univer sity of Victoria Muslim Students?

À Londres\, des occupations ont eu lieu à Goldsmith?s\, King?s College\, Lo ndon School of Economics\, et bien d?autres.\n\nAu Canada et au Québec\, d es coalitions contre la guerre ont été formées sur pratiquement chaque cam pus\, et les étudiantEs se mobilisent pour leurs propres\nactions et pour la mobilisation nord-américaine contre la guerre le 18 janvier. Plus récem ment\, des milliers d?étudiantEs ont participé à la journée d'action\npan- canadienne contre la guerre contre l'Irak les 16-17 novembre\, une mobilis ation de 35 000 personnes au Canada et au Québec.\n\nRécemment\, lors d?un e conférence à l?Université de Toronto\, des étudiantEs de quinze universi tés\, collèges\, et écoles secondaires ont participé à une discussion inti tulée >.
