Description: We are currently organizing a conference on December 6, 2008 in New Brunswick for students throughout New Jersey in order to create a unifying strategy on how to successfully end the occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to propose a day of action across college campuses in the region. The conference will involve student speakers, educational and organizational workshops, and an environment in which students and student groups throughout New Jersey will be able to share opinions, ideas, etc. We've gotten a very positive response from students here at Rutgers and we're expecting a great turn out.
