We are asking $5-10 per day to attend (Th.-Sat.), but no one will be
turned away for lack of funds.
This October 5th we are calling for
nationwide protests where campuses will be shut down and student walkouts will
bring business-as-usual to a halt. To do
this we need a generation of leaders who challenge the stifling
politics-as-usual atmosphere with a “Be Realistic: Demand the
Impossible” spirit and the moral clarity concentrated in the statement of,
“I would rather die than to have anyone tortured to save my life” –
former U.K.
Ambassador Craig Murray. From the most
experienced organizers to youth just beginning to get involved in political
activism, we have a schedule that will be exciting for all:
