Dear Friends,

FOR's Youth and Militarism Program and Task Force on Latin America and the Caribbean are collaborating on a tour to support young adults in resisting militarism through creative action. We'd love your help recruiting young adults and finding host cities for the campus tour, which is coming to a venue near you!

Drop Beats Not Bombs Campus Tour: November 5 - 25, Midwest to East Coast

Can you host us on your campus or in your community this November? We plan to be in MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, KY, PA, and NY. A typical tour stop involves:

• A club or campus hip hop show featuring Detroit based emcee Invincible, and involving local artists;
• A keynote speaking event featuring Paula Galeano, a Colombian Conscientious Objector, on the situation youth are facing today in Colombia's armed conflict and how they are organizing non-violently to resist it.
• Two workshops - each 1.5 - 2 hours long - on Conscientious Objection in Colombia & the US, and on Art in Action (see workshop descriptions attached in the tour host letter);
• Classroom visits to Philosophy, Sociology, Political Science, Women's Studies, Latin American Studies; Conflict or Peace Studies, Language & Fine Arts classes, etc.
• Meet ups with student organizers to help get people connected and involved!

For more information, please contact Maryrose at 651-210-4465 or maryrose@forusa.org or visit www.forcolombia.org/fall08tour. You can also support the training or tour by making a contribution online.

Thank you and peace,
