Dear Friends:
These are trying times. DHS agencies and the military are invading our communities. Our military is waging war or threatening war on multiple fronts.
Meanwhile, in order to maintain such an active presence on the world stage, the military needs more recruits. Recruiters are appearing at our schools, community meetings, social media, on our phones, everywhere it seems.
At the same time, the number of groups actively involved in counter military recruitment has plummeted. The National Network Opposing Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) hopes to push against that trend and spark activist groups into action. We cannot wait three years for a change. Too much is at stake.
We are planning a webinar March 21 and we invite you to participate. This will be a round table discussion of ways in which you can become involved in counter recruiting. We will be talking about tabling at high schools, speaking to high school classrooms, forming peace clubs, leafleting at schools, community involvement, peaceful career opportunities, the need for social media campaigns. Each area will be presented by people that have been deeply involved in this work for a significant period.
We hope you can join us: Saturday, March 21, 11 – 12:30 PST/12 – 1:30 PM MST/1 – 2:30 CST/ 2 – 3:30 EST.
Your attendance is vital. Big or small, everything we do helps prevent a young person from making a decision they may regret (and often do).
