500 Long Beach Students Marched Against the War Today!!

**** 500 STUDENTS MARCH AT CAL STATE

UNIVERSITY OF LONG BEACH

AGAINST WAR. March 20, 2003 ****

The students of CSULB overwhelmingly today

showed massive resistance against the Bush

Administration and its war for oil and global

domination (no U.S. invasion force has ever

placed a democratic government over a

"liberated" or allied 3rd world country). Over 500

Students came together in a spontaneous march

which circled the campus and ended up at 7th

street near the 405 Freeway, around 12noon.

Students took over the streets and police

helicopters flew overhead. Many students walked

out of there classes in support of the march.

School and Police officials ran around frantically

trying to discover where the march was going - but

alas it was a snake march with no pre-planned

route.

Hundreds of students gathered after the

march to discuss the war, many having never

experienced an open display of public discourse

such as that in there entire life. At night many

students gathered at the Anti-War rock fest and

others on 2nd street at a candlelight anti-war vigil.

After weeks of attempting to shut down the show,

school officals had no choice but to allow the

concert to take place.

Millions marched across the U.S. and the

world today. CSULB students are part of this large

movement! The CSULB Campus Progressive

Collective Meetings are at USU Room 309 at 5pm

every Wednesday. The Campus Progressives put

out a call for people to attend and support the

March 22nd anti war rally at Lincoln park in Long

Beach. Solidarity forever!
