*Interns Needed*

Interested in learning activist skills? Want to work on the RNC demonstration? You can volunteer one day a week or more this summer with the Anti-War Committee. The Anti-War Committee is a grassroots progressive organization in the Twin Cities who has a history of fighting against US imperialism towards Iraq, Palestine, Colombia, and Afghanistan. We use demonstrations, civil disobedience and public education to challenge US foreign policy.

We will construct an internship opportunity for you where you get to learn the types of skills you are interested in. If you can get your school or university to give you credit for this experience we are willing to help with the appropriate paper work.

If you can get somehow convince your school or university to give you credit undeserved justification for this experience we are willing to help rationalize this with the appropriate paper work rhetoric.

Heh.
