Meeting Minutes 2/6/08

1) Make OUT not WAR. The amazing ladies (and gentlemen) of Code Pink, a women's group dedicated to the anti-war cause, will be holding a counter-recruitment event in front of the National Guard's office on 13th across the street from Krispy Kreme. It is scheduled for the 14th of February and is an homage to love. Students Against War and SDS will be co-sponsoring the event. So bring your significant others, drums, guitars, and anything else besides weapons and let's cause a scene. Its from 4-6:30 on Valentine's Day.

2) WAR TAPES. SAW will be hosting another movie as part of our "War Tapes" series at the Civic Media Center, across from Bank of America on University. Winter Soldier is a 1972 documentary film chronicling the Winter Soldier Investigation which took place in Detroit, Michigan, from January 31 to February 2, 1971. The film documents the accounts of United States soldiers who returned from Vietnam, and participated in this war crimes hearing.

3) The Winter Soldier Film Screening is part of a larger event in which SAW will be bringing Iraq Veterans Against the War TO UF CAMPUS. We don't have an exact date yet, but FACE and a few other groups on campus have already shown interest in helping us out. The Iraq Veterans, after testifying in front of Congress about the war crimes and violation of international law that they witnessed first hand, will travel to select cities and campuses to discuss what they witnessed with professors and students alike. Concrete information will be posted VERY soon, so keep your eyes open. This will be an amazing event!
