BAUAW NEWSLETTER-MONDAY, APRIL 4, 2005

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY

SFPD INTIMIDATION OF BAY AREA UNITED AGAINST WAR
(WWW.BAUAW.ORG)

Dear Friends in the anti-war movement,

Saturday, April 2, as we entered Centro del Pueblo for the
meeting of Bay Area United Against War (B.A.U.A.W.), two
S.F. police officers were waiting for us. They asked questions
such as: how many people were expected to attend the
meeting and how many people were expected to the
"demonstration" at Washington H.S. They said that their
commanding officer, Lt. Lynch, from the Richmond Police
Station, had sent them to the meeting and when we told
them that they didn't belong there, they claimed to "be
part of the community," and therefore their presence was
appropriate claiming it was a public meeting in a public
building.

Police Officers do not have a right to attend and ask
questions at an antiwar meeting! Their presence is
intimidating. (When this was mentioned to Lt. Lynch in
a conversation on Sunday he said it reflected our negative
attitude toward the police.) In this case they said they were
trying to gather information. But, they could have easily
called us up and asked their questions. We informed them
that whenever we plan an event that needs permits, etc.
we have always followed proper procedure so they had
no cause to even question us.

There is no demonstration planned by B.A.U.A.W. at
Washington H.S. What we are planning is a counter-recruitment
information table at a career fair at the school Tuesday,
April 5, where there will be military recruiters present.
(When we told this to the two officers, they proceeded
to ask what material we were having on the table and if any
material will have our name on it and what other groups will
be listed on the material.)

This activity is part of B.A.U.A.W.'s campaign to implement
Proposition N, the ballot measure in which S.F. voters approved
a resolution to bring all the troops home now from Iraq.
B.A.U.A.W. is campaigning for the school district to cut all
ties with the military including direct military recruitment
on campus as well as the Junior ROTC program. Our purpose
is to urge students not to join the military, not to volunteer
to fight against the Iraqi people as part of this illegal,
immoral war.

Our purpose is to attempt to recruit students to participate
in the antiwar movement. We are perfectly within our
constitutional rights to conduct this work and to demonstrate
if we so choose, even though at this time, we are not calling
for a demonstration. And if we did call for a picket line on
the sidewalk without a sound system, no permit is required
anyway so there would be no reason to notify the police.

The police have no right to show up at our meetings where
we discuss our antiwar work. We have filed a formal complaint
against the police for this intrusion on our rights and are
seeking legal advice to prevent them from doing it again
without good cause.

Citizens have a right to hold meetings without police presence.

8) CAMPUS ANTIWAR NETWORK (CAN)
KICKS CIA RECRUITERS OFF NYU
PRESS ADVISORY
April 2, 2005
Student protest prevents CIA recruiting event at New York University
Antiwar students hope to halt unique CIA college marketing effort at
NYU

CONTACT:
Sam Pipp, (339) 832-0761, spp230@nyu.edu Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, (646) 320-
6880, wrigleyfield@nyu.edu ATTN: All Media

***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***

A planned CIA recruiting event at New York University (NYU) was
cancelled after the Campus Antiwar Network (CAN) called a protest
demanding the CIA abandon its recruiting program at NYU. 20 hours
before the recruiting event was scheduled to begin, its organizers sent
an email to all those who had registered, headlined, "The CIA Speaker
Event scheduled for Thursday, March 31 @6PM has been CANCELLED due to
the possibility of a protest by the Campus Antiwar Network."

The event -- which was scheduled to include speakers from the CIA, a
dinner, and a raffle for prizes such as an iPod Shuffle -- was
organized by students in an NYU marketing class whose classwork for the
semester is to market the CIA to their peers at NYU. They will be
graded on their efforts; the CIA, which provided them a $2500 budget
for their project, retains ownership of the marketing campaign they
create. The CIA hired the company EdVenture Partners to broker this
arrangement.

This alliance between the university and the CIA to market CIA
employment on campus is taking place at only two universities this
semester: NYU and the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA). Students
at both schools have rallied in protest against the program.

"We believe they're testing the waters to see how brazenly they can
recruit on campuses without encountering student opposition, before
spreading programs like this to colleges across the country," said
Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, a senior at NYU and member of the Campus
Antiwar Network. "Forcing them to cancel their big speaking event is a
huge victory. It showed them they can't market an agency that supports
torture and murder around the world without a fight."

After the event was cancelled, about twenty students rallied in
celebration outside the building where it was scheduled to have been
held, passing out fact sheets about the CIA's history of assassination
attempts and support for brutal dictatorships. Ten students went to
challenge the event's organizers to a public debate on campus about the
CIA -- an offer which was declined.

"Their marketing campaign says they want to 'dispel the myths' about
the CIA," said David Florey, a senior at NYU and member of the Campus
Antiwar Network. "But they refused our offer to debate. They can't
dispel the reality of the CIA's own practices. It's not a myth that the
CIA organized the program in Afghanistan that trained Osama bin Laden."


PART OF A NATIONAL COUNTER-RECRUITMENT MOVEMENT

NYU's protest comes in the context of a counter-recruitment movement
that has swept colleges and high schools across the country. Students
at schools ranging from Seattle Central Community College and San
Francisco State University on the West Coast, to City College New York
and and Southern Connecticut State University on the East Coast, have
chased military recruiters off their campus this schoolyear.

Expensive private colleges like NYU don't get the same kinds of
military recruiters. The only recruiters NYU has seen this year came
from the Judge Advocate General (the legal arm of the military), which
faced protest from NYU students opposed to the discriminatory Don't
Ask, Don't Tell and the prosecution of war resisters. But students at
NYU see their CIA Off Campus campaign as a contribution to the national
counter-recruitment movement.

"We know that because of the general affluence of the students at NYU,
direct military recruitment will never be as fruitful as the government
would hope, but in the past few months, we_ve seen a significant
increase in the presence of OTHER forms of recruitment for militaristic
operations," said Sam Pipp, a sophomore at NYU and member of the Campus
Antiwar Network. "This CIA recruitment in the guise of a class
represents a campaign of sorts on the part of the government to pull as
many as they can into the military machine."

"We're here as part of a growing counter-recruitment movement that has
the potential to stop Bush's ability to carry out his agenda of war and
terror," said Leia Petty, a member of the Campus Antiwar Network, at
the protest. "We're here to say that torture and terror are not career
opportunities, and we don't intend to back down until the CIA drops all
efforts to recruit at NYU."


THIS PROTEST IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Two days before NYU's protest, students at UTPA had protested the CIA
recruiting event at their campus, where the CIA is explicitly marketing
itself as an employer of choice for Latinos. "I think the students in
the marketing class are naive to think they're offering any
opportunity to Hispanics," said Samantha Garcia, president of Students
for Peace and Justice and the University Socialist Forum at UTPA, two
groups that protested the CIA. Garcia noted the CIA's history of
involvement in Latin America, such as its involvement in the overthrow
of Chile's left-wing leader Salvador Allende and its support of
Nicaragua's Contras.

At both schools, students plan to keep fighting the CIA presence and
opposing the U.S. occupation in Iraq, which they see as intimately
connected. "Bush says we're bringing democracy to Iraq," Wrigley-Field
said. "But the history of the CIA shows the U.S. is the last country
that can bring democracy anywhere."

GAP CEO funding campaign against California students and working
families. Shouldn't a store that sells to students stick up for
students? Not the GAP.

GAP founder Don Fisher is one of Governor Schwarzenegger's leading
special interest fundraisers ˜ and one of his biggest donors.

Together, Fisher and his family have given $154,700 to
Schwarzenegger and his committees ˜ even though Schwarzenegger has
raised student fees, cut school funding, vetoed the "Car Buyers Bill
of Rights" and terminated consumer, patient and environmental
protections, while calling students and nurses "special interests."

After promising to fully fund California schools, the Governor
shortchanged students by $2 billion this year. 10,000 students were
turned away from college last year because of his cuts.

Now Don Fisher is out raising money for the Governor's special
election attacking teachers, school funding and worker pensions ˜
and he's one of the leading contributors to a right-wing scheme to
silence the voice of labor unions and working people.

When you pay the GAP, you pay the price.
