Bring FIST, SNAFU to your school!

Activists with the youth group FIST (Fight Imperialism--Stand Together) and SNAFU (Support Network for an Armed Forces Union) are taking the struggle against the war and in support of youth into the classrooms.

These activists, including youth and military veterans, have been speaking in high schools with much success, doing their own brand of recruiting into the anti-imperialist movement.

Youth are particularly moved to action by the impending threat of a military draft.

While many of the schools visited have progressive administrations that refuse military recruiting on their campuses, students report the presence of recruiters directly outside their schools.

The message of building a movement to stop the draft before it starts, and to reach out to other youth with the facts about the military and military recruiting, has been well received.

Teachers, parents and youth: You can arrange for speakers to come to your school or your child's school. Contact SNAFU and FIST at (212) 633-6646.
