Escalation of the attacks on Free Speech
at San Francisco State
Students at San Francisco State still need your help. The attack
against students activists for the March 9th counter recruitment
protest has escalated. On April 1, 2005, the six student
organizations that endorsed the
demonstration (Students Against War (SAW), LA Raza, Voices for
Sexual Freedom (VOX), Pilipino American Collegiate Endeavour
(PACE), M.E.C.h.A. and the International Socialist Organization
(ISO)) received letters stating that the administration is beginning
formal Disciplinary Proceedings against
them. This is on top of the 3 individual students who received
letter from judicial affairs on March 22nd. The groups involved may
be facing formal hearings as soon as Monday, April 25, 2005.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
We ask the public to continue speaking-out against the
administration's plans to limit free speech rights, and demand that
no sanctions be placed on students organizations that helped to plan
the March 9th protest.

We urgently need your help. Please lend your support to anti-war
student activists and activists who are fighting the militarization
of our schools by letting the administration know that their actions
are not supported by members of the community, students, alumni,
faculty, and staff.
Sincerely,
Students Against War
