Student Anti-War Movement

For this semester I am taking on the task of researching the Student Anti-War Movement. Because this topic pertains greatly to all of us, due to our varying status' on campus I am excited to learn more about this movement.



A few results to my original searches included a bit of a background on what the student antiwar movement is. One way of involvement is by joining a campus antiwar network. The Campus Antiwar Network is an independent, democratic, grassroots network of students opposing the occupation of Iraq and military recruiters in our schools at campuses all over the country. Their goal is to unite all antiwar students on colleges and high schools alike to democratically build a broad antiwar and counter-recruitment movement to help bring the troops home now. Within this movement, youth and students have a clear and decisive role to play in organized campuses across the country to help shut down the war machine by cutting off the supply of soldiers, cutting war funding and organizing to bring youth and students out in the streets.

Other ways of becoming educated, as well as involved, is by visiting the following site which focuses on Campus activisim.

Also, another site that is heavily rooted in student activisim is the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Here is the link to their website as well.

Overall, I am excited to have chosen this topic and am more than excited to learn as much as I can about the present movement involving students on campuses all across the country.
