In light of the 11th anniversary of the American invasion of Afghanistan that took place on Sunday, the Students for a Democratic Society led an action protesting U.S. foreign policy on Monday on the USF campus in Tampa.

The group consisted of about 12 students, who started the demonstration at Cooper Hall addressing other students with megaphones and chants along the lines of “drop tuition, not bombs” and the protest stand-by of “no justice, no peace.”

Banners and megaphones attracted a somewhat receptive audience outside of the hall as students tentatively gathered around to hear the SDS members’ message of opposition.

The speakers focused mainly on U.S. policy actions, and as to be expected called for the end of the Afghanistan war and other U.S. military involvements. There was also a focus on the growing practice of drone warfare.
