Students Against War preparing to 'welcome’ Bush

Katie Cherrington, Wollongong

The Wollongong Undergraduate Students Association (WUSA) is organising a one-day conference of anti-war student activists on May 19 in an attempt to build networks to protest against Australia’s support for US aggression against Iraq and Iran and prepare protests against the planned visit to Australia by US President George Bush during the September 2007 APEC summit.

The central themes for the conference are: Troops out of Iraq, hands off Iran, defend civil liberties and stop the racist scapegoating of Muslims.

Matt Barden, a student involved in the Wollongong Students Against War collective, told Green Left Weekly: “The anti-war movement has been very quiet lately, and with the current threats by the US against Iran, it is more important than ever that we are organised. I think that university students have a key role to play in the anti-war movement.”
