Pics from Rutgers Antiwar Walkout

Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 12:46:38 AM EDT



The walkout started with a rally on the College Ave Campus and then a march along College Ave to George St, with a pause in front of Old Queens, where the students announced their intention to start a divestment campaign.  The university endowment is invested in Halliburton and other military contractors. I'm sure we'll hear more about this in the coming months.

The Star Ledger has photos here, and there will be more press coverage in the morning.  The students' press release is on Michael Moore's must read.

And here are some photos taken by Paul Sauers.

Sitting down for 5 minutes at the intersection of George & Albany Sts, a minute for each year of the war:

There were some words with some pro-war guys in front of the Marines Recruiting Station (technically called the "Marines officers program"), which they were bizarrely insisting wasn't a recruiting station.  I know from earlier reporting on protests we've held there, that from that very office they rented the helicopters that were brought onto campus offering free helicopter rides to let students know they could be pilots in the Marines.  So there's definitely attempts at recruiting from that office.

The march proceeded to Douglass Campus on George St. and then the marchers were ready to go out onto Rte 18:

and return to campus for a speak out:
