Anti-military recruitment info

June 9 Counter Recruitment flyering in front of High Schools

This is an important time of year to reach high school students who are about to graduate.
Recruiters are counting on signing up many graduating seniors as their quotas for the year have not been met. We need to let students know the truth about what recruiters tell them and that there are other options for training and $ for college besides joining the military.
SO..... please sign up to hand out flyers to students at one of the 3 schools we have chosen. We chose these schools because recruiters have been present at the schools. You don't even have to get up early, as we have decided to flyer in the afternoon as students are leaving school. (yvonne@unitedforpeace.org)
