Hi Eve - Could you help by getting this out to Boston
area lists?
Thanks, Charlie

##

As of 11:30am, there was a protest at Holyoke
Community College against
military recruiters.  The protesters were not blocking
the recruiters, but
were just trying to counter protest and provide real
information about what
the military does.

The police arrived and started knocking people to the
ground and
macing them.   The College Republicans were there
encouraging the
police to attack the protesters. Reportedly, the
College Administration
called the police.

Please immediately call 413-538-7000 and register your
outrage with the
President's office at the College's attack on peaceful
protest on a public
campus.

Thank you!

For more information, please contact Charles Peterson
of the HCC Anti-War
Coalition charlest.peterson at gmail.com

More news on this situation will follow.
