Youth Against War and Racism Button

About Youth Against War and Racism Youth Against War and Racism is a growing national network of youth activists and student groups. YAWR is organized around the following Points of Unity: * End the occupation of Iraq - Bring the troops home now! * Money for jobs and education, not war! * Military recruiters out of our schools! * Say no to racism, homophobia, and attacks on our civil liberties! Youth Against War and Racism began in the fall of 2004 when three high school members of Socialist Alternative started to organize against military recruiters at Kennedy High in Bloomington, Minnesota. When their principal tried to ban them from setting up an antiwar table against military recruiters, the students waged a successful public campaign defending their free speech rights.
