No
US War:
Military Retaliation Is Not The Answer
Wednesday, September 26, 12-1 pm
On September 26, 2001, over 300 people joined the PRC on the UI quad
for a rally in protest of threatened U.S. military response to the recent
terrorist attacks. People from campus and the community joined together
for a solemn rally featuring local activists and veterans of the anti-Vietnam
War movement. We spoke out against United States military retaliation,
curtailment of civil liberties and harrasment and scapegoating of Muslim,
Arab and Arab American people.
