ABSTRACT

On 19 March 2003, a campus peace organization (CPO) at a public university of approximately 13,000 students located in the mid-western US posted the following email announcement:

CPO, a university-recognized organization, announces the intentions of its members to join the National Strike called for tomorrow, March 20, the day after the war on Iraq began. We will not go to work. We will not go to class. All are welcome to join us on the quad, in front of the library, in a vigil for

peace and justice.
