big anti-war demo at university of california santa barbara today!

big anti-war demo at university of california, santa barbara today!

i was off campus for a conference of non-profit organizations & area foundations. if i wasn't, i would have joined the anti-war strike at ucsb, which by some accounts involved upwards of 1000 participants, one of the largest actions of its kind in over 15 years.

i found this posted on a facebook group called "'peace out university - student strike against war.'" it was credited to a jon hellam.

there were apparently 26 other college & university campuses that had strikes, walkouts, boycotts, & rallies planned to protest the war, imperialism, & military ties to american universities.

this shot shows students on the highway 217 that feeds into the east campus off of the 101 freeway: a fairly sizeable act of civil disobedience, for what it's worth (although i don't know how long it went on for).

for more on the campus organizing at ucsb & elsewhere around the country, go to sbantiwar.org.

here's hoping the example continues to grow & creates political pressure on both parties to turn back the tide.

¡la lucha continua!

my brother, i thought so much of the horror of war and what I need to do to stop the action in Iraq. a poor tortured boy killed 5 innocent people monday night before he was shot to death by the police. his body as a boy survived the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia but his mind was broken. war comes home to all our neighborhoods in the end. its the horror that keeps on giving. we must act. we must truly save our people and the Iraqis it must end. the war must end.
