For Martin Luther King’s Birthday,
CMU: Pittsburgh needs more buses
Not bombs!


At a recent press conference, CMU president Jared Cohon handed out
his own press release about support by CMU's "Allegheny
Conference on Community Development's" for city-wide bus service
cuts, rates hikes and hundreds of bus driver layoffs. At the
same time, CMU has been sporting its new line of killer robots and of
course its ongoing military contracting which is now taking place in
several departments and the off-campus think tank SEI, the Software
Engineering Institute.

Dr. King fought for people's dignity that they may have the right not
to sit in the back of the bus. Now if President Cohon gets his way,
there will not even be a bus to ride.


Martin Luther King would have been amazed that a place of higher
education would be building weapons of war and encouraging city
leaders to leave their citizens with no way to get to school, the
airport or work.


Join us in our effort to disarm CMU!
