The Campus Antiwar Network (CAN) is the largest independent, democratic, grassroots network of students who oppose the occupation of Iraq and military recruiters in our schools at campuses all over the country. Since its formation before the war in Iraq began, the group's unapologetic opposition to the US government's project of conquest and plunder in the Middle East, along with its horrible consequences at home, has been unwavering.

CAN is calling for actions around the country to show the federal government that it cannot intimidate schools for kicking out military recruiters. On Tuesday, Dec. 6, the Supreme Court will hear FAIR v. Rumsfeld (brought by several universities), which will decide whether schools can ban military recruiters without losing federal funding. Currently, the government can cut off federal funding from schools that ban military recruiters. This policy forces schools to accept military recruitment, even though the military's anti-gay "don't ask, don't tell" policy violates university anti-discrimination policies.

On Dec. 6, when the Supreme Court hears FAIR v. Rumsfeld, students will hold protests at military recruiting stations, federal buildings and school administrative offices across the country, including San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago and New York City. In Washington, DC, a demonstration will take place on the steps of the Supreme Court.

When: Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 1 p.m.
Where: On the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court steps on First Street (between East Capitol Street and Maryland Avenue; Capitol South Metro)
