Campus Antiwar Network (CAN) - page 4

Formation and growth of the US independent, democratic and grassroots antiwar
student movement - October 26, 2002 to January, 2005

Here, we present an index to the history of CAN from October 26, 2002 to the present. There is much that is not included, such as coverage of regional CAN conferences in other parts of the US (we're in the Northeast), and CAN's highly successful campus speaking tours (coordinated with partners such as the Muslim Students Association). We encourage people to visit campusantiwar.net for upcoming events, resources and information about CAN. Please consider ways to uplift this independent, democratic and grassroots student antiwar network. Special thanks to Katrina Yeaw, Kirstin Roberts, Emily Goldstein, Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, Monique Dols, and Phil Gasper for giving suggestions on content, contributing photographs or providing narrritives.
