The Washington Peace Center and CHOICES is co-hosting an intensive six-hour training and workshop on military counter recruitment and the most effective ways to prevent the militarization of youth in our communities. We will be assisted by experts from the Center on Conscience and War and other experts in the field. Topics will include: Providing alternatives to youth, providing GI support to potential conscientious objectors and those selecting to go AWOL, strategies in the schools and at the school board and county levels, and related laws to recruitment and military access to students. The organizers believe peace activists need to be prepared to go far beyond simple protests in front of military recruitment offices, and to challenge the entire industry of military recruitment. Time: 12 noon, Saturday, March 31st Location: St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, 1820 Connecticut Ave., NW For more info: Pete, 202-234-2000 Suggested donation will be $10
