[Antiracism] PLEASE READ - NO DEGREE FOR ANDREW CARD - UMASS-AMHERST

[varghese at educ.umass.edu]

Hello,

There is a rally on Thursday, May 10th @12:30pm asking the University of
Massachusetts to revoke their offer of an honorary degree to Andrew Card,
former White House Chief of Staff and head of the White House Iraq Group.  As
you may know, "Card is associated with the spinning of intelligence to make it
appear that Iraq's WMD were real threats to the US, and hence is one of those
directly responsible for the war in Iraq which has claimed more than 750,000
lives, mostly of innocent civilians". Details about the rally are below!

Best,

-Rani Varghese, MSW
Doctoral Student, Social Justice Education
