Ndife Otsutsa aku Northwestern.

Otsutsa ndi gulu ladziko lodana ndi nkhondo, anti-imperialist ndi abolitionist bungwe lotsogolera mbadwo wa achinyamata kuti abweze zomwe zatibera kunkhondo, kubwezeretsanso mabungwe opatsa moyo ndikukonza maubwenzi athu ndi dziko lapansi. Otsutsa akupanga mitu ya achinyamata pamasukulu aku koleji ku Turtle Island omwe amasala zankhondo ndikukakamiza osankhidwa amphamvu ndi osankhidwa kuti asiyane ndi imfa ndikuyika moyo ndi machiritso.
Usilikali walowa m'dziko, koma ndife m'badwo umene tingathe kuthetsa mavuto omwe wabweretsa. Tikhoza kutimasula tonse.
Tikufuna maubale a Northwestern sever ndi opanga zida zisanu zapamwamba komanso opindulitsa pankhondo, kuphatikiza koma osangokhala ku Boeing Company, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies ndi Northrop Grumman.
Izi zimawoneka ngati kusuntha. Izi zikuwoneka ngati kusalana ntchito ndi makampaniwa. Izi zikuwoneka ngati kuchotsa omenyera nkhondo kuchokera ku Board of Trustees.
Tikupemphanso sukuluyi kuti igwirizane ndi zofuna za Unshackle NU zopempha yunivesite kuti isiyane ndi ogwira ntchito m'ndende zapadera. Tikufuna kuti NU itsatire malingaliro a 2015 Associated Student Government chigamulo chochoka ku Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Hewlett-Packard, G4S, Caterpillar ndi Elbit Systems, omwe ali ndi chidwi ndi utsamunda wa Israeli komanso kuphwanya ulemu wa Palestina.

Kuphatikiza apo, tikufuna kuti Yunivesite ipereke pempho la 2020 lotulutsidwa ndi ophunzira a Black undergraduate ndi omaliza maphunziro omwe adapanga NU Community Not Cops. Izi zikuphatikiza koma sizimangokhala pakuthetsa Apolisi aku University, kudula maubwenzi onse ndi dipatimenti ya apolisi yaku Chicago ndi dipatimenti ya apolisi ya Evanston, kudziperekanso ku zofuna za 1968 za Bursar's Takeover ndikugawa ndalama ndi zothandizira ku mabungwe omwe akumenyera ufulu wa Black monga #NoCopAcademy. Kuthetsedwa kwa apolisi komanso kudana ndi usilikali sikungatheke.
Nkhondo sizimatiteteza. Mabomba ndi ndege zankhondo sizimatiteteza. Militarism imatanthauza nkhanza pa mgwirizano. Zikutanthauza chiwawa pa kukonza. Zikutanthauza kusamutsidwa mwankhanza kwa madera amtundu padziko lonse lapansi, apolisi m'midzi ya Akuda ndi mgwirizano wa zida ku Saudi Arabia ndi Israel. Kumatanthauza kupanga moyo Padziko Lapansi kukhala wosakhalitsa. Osankhidwa amapanga nkhondo zosatha za mphamvu ndi phindu.
Osankhidwa omwewo ali mu NU's Board of Trustees. Osankhidwa omwewo amabweretsa chipwirikiti komanso chiwonongeko padziko lonse lapansi komanso ku Evanston.
Kukhalapo kwawo kukuwonetsa kukhudzidwa kwa NU pamakampani ankhondo.
Mwachitsanzo, banja la Crown, limodzi mwa mabanja otchuka kwambiri mdera la Chicago, lili ndi ndalama pazankhondo zambiri, nkhondo komanso kuphana kwa Israeli. Iwo adathandizira kukwera kwa General Dynamics ya warmonger. M'malo mwake, Lester Crown, NU Board of Trustees trustee moyo, adakhala Purezidenti wa General Dynamics.

Board of Trustees si gawo lokhalo la Yunivesite lomwe gulu lankhondo lidalowamo - McCormick School of Engineering ilinso ndi mgwirizano kumakampani ankhondo. Mu 2005, NU, Ford Motor Company ndi Boeing adapanga "mgwirizano" kuti achite kafukufuku wa nanotechnology, monga zitsulo zapadera, masensa ndi zida zamagetsi. Boeing ndi Lockheed Martin nthawi zambiri amapereka ma internship kwa ophunzira a McCormick. Nicholas D. Chabraja Center for Historical Studies amatchulidwa pambuyo pa mkulu wakale wa General Dynamics ndi membala wa Board of Trustees.
Mu 2020, Asitikali aku US adakhazikitsa projekiti yazaka ziwiri ndi Northwestern Initiative for Manufacturing Science and Innovation kuti apange ukadaulo womwe ungalole kuti magalimoto ankhondo osayendetsedwa ndi anthu azigwira ntchito pamafuta angapo nthawi yayitali kuposa masiku onse.
Koma mafunde akutembenuka. Ife ndife m'badwo umene umatsutsana.

Mu Okutobala 2005, NU idalangiza makampani omwe amayika ndalama m'malo mwa Yunivesite kuti achoke kumakampani anayi omwe adathandizira kupha anthu ku Darfur ku Sudan.

Tidzasiyana ndi imfa ndi chiwonongeko ndikuyika ndalama mwa ife.
