Backlash for Anti-War HS Walk Out in Tukwila, WA

Posted December 19th, 2007 by alejandra

In Minneapolis and its neighboring areas, MN Youth Against War and Racism (YAWR) organized a High School Walk Out Against the War which brought out over 800 students from high schools and some middle schools on November 16, 2007. Youth Against War and Racism in the Midwest has been a main collaborator with the Nonviolent Youth Collective of the Fellowship of Reconciliation in its Truth and Recruitment work. During YAWR's meeting post-walk out, we found out more about the situation with students who had walked out in Washington State (and more specifically about the students at Foster High School in Tukwila, WA).

The situation developing there has now been named: the Tukwila 6.
