[CIMC-work] Attn: Chicago Student Moratorium Press Release

[dwlb@uchicago.edu]

Could you guys put in a special link for this press release, or replace the
student strike link with this?  MK communications is helping us make a pretty
press release and they agreed to blast fax it for us, but all the help would help.

thanks,

Chicago Student Moratorium Against War on Iraq

When Bush invades Iraq, students at over 30 Metro Chicago area high schools and
colleges plan walkouts, rallies, and other actions of defiance and resistance to
Bush's unilateral, pre-emptive war of aggression against Iraq.   We condemn the
killing of innocent Iraqi civilians and we call for an immediate withdrawal of
all U.S. forces from the Middle East.  

We also condemn the arbitrary arrests of three student activists earlier today
in front of the Leo Burnett Building.  Sean Casey, Rachel Perrota, and Eric
Peters were charged with criminal damage to property for writing “No War” in
chalk on the side of the building.  Eric Peters, organizer of the first
demonstration against Leo Burnett Feb 21st, was only standing on the sidewalk. 
By singling out student organizers, the police have threatened the entire
student movement and all of our civil liberties.
