Across the country a new movement has sprung up of students, parents, teachers and community members opposing military recruiters in their schools and neighborhoods. Their message is simple:

Military recruiters out of our schools, U.S. troops out of Iraq!"

To support the counter-recruitment movement and the rights of all students to a decent and affordable education the Green Party is holding a Rally at Laney College called Back to School, Not War. Guest speakers include many of the leading voices in the counter-recruitment movement, including:

• Aimee Allison, Army Conscientious Objector during the first Gulf War
• Clarence Thomas, co-chair of the Worker March Organizing Committee
• Peter Miguel Camejo, Green Party gubernatorial candidate
• Ragina Johnson, campaign director for the College Not Combat proposition
• Special call-in from Elaine Brown, former chairman of the Black Panther Party and Green Party candidate for Mayor in Brunswick Georgia
• (other speakers TBA)
