Updated February 25, 2007

Students, alumni, and supporters from across the University of California will gather to reflect on our projects of this past academic year and decide on our next major actions in the movement to demilitarize the University of California. The meeting will take place days prior to the UC Regents’ March meeting at UCLA.

Interested in stopping the US wars in the Middle-East? Want to live in a world based on true security (one free of nuclear weapons)? Want to work effectively toward an ecologically-sustainable world? Join us as we exchange information and strategize on how to do precisely those things!

The Coalition of Demilitarize the UC is based on the idea that the most effective and transformative means for UC students to oppose war and imperialism is to challenge our own university’s material contributions to the war effort. These include (but are not limited to) management of the Los Alamos and Livermore nuclear weapons labs and well over $100 million in annual military research at campuses across the UC system.

Workshops featuring basic background information regarding the Coalition to Demilitarize the UC’s work and the issues it addresses will take place at the beginning of the convergence, to ensure all participants feel fully informed and empowered in all conversations. Again, the discussions will be very action-oriented: We will decide on many of our next major projects.

Free homestays are available. Free food will be provided throughout the weekend. Please RSVP via email by March 7th to ensure your spot!
