HISTORY
Following the the horrific attack on New York, Washington D.C., and
Pennsylvania
in 2001, two Iowa State University sophomores began a discussion on the
possible U.S. response to the these events.
The organization was formed by a subsquent conversation among ten concerned
students on campus. We have now grown to an email list of more than 300
members.
We have organized teach-ins, vigils, demonstrations and respectful acts
of non-violent civil disobedience.
A few photos from last year's March 20th peace rally can be found here.
