I recall reading that. It seemed to me at the time susceptible to e.g. Adolph Reed’s critique:
<http://bennorton.com/adolph-reed-identity-politics-is-neoliberalism/>.

AWARE was founded to foster local opposition to US war-making and racism - and, by implication, capitalism, the source of both.
We should be willing to cooperate with others who have effective ways to do that as well.
But as Reed explains, identity politics is a defense of capitalism - and therefore at best only accidentally useful in an anti-war anti-racism effort.

Carl,  
You have seen a copy of the demands of the Students. Months ago.
It is online. I can't copy and paste the url from my cell phone. But you can Google their demands.-karen medina

Harry—
It would be helpful to members and friends of AWARE (‘Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort’) - and others - if you would set out 
(1) what the "concrete anti-racist anti-capitalist work on campus” being done by Black Students for Revolution or Project1000 consists of; and 
(2) what "support the students trying to seize power and democratize our own university” are asking for.
Regards, Carl
