Anti-draft conference

With counter-recruitment efforts gaining momentum across the country, and the threat of a draft bringing more youth, parents and educators into the movement, a national conference against the draft and military recruiting will be held on April 16 at P.S. 41 in Manhattan.

This strategy and planning conference will have workshops that cover fighting for military-free schools, organizing to stop the draft and counter-recruiting. Participants will include activists, military resisters, veterans, parents and students.

Notable participants include Carl Webb, a member of the Army National Guard who refused orders to deploy to Iraq; Hadas Their, a student who was arrested at the City College of New York for protesting against military recruiters on campus; and Monique Code, a Desert Storm veteran.

P.S. 41 is located at 116 W 11th St.
in Manhattan, between 6th and 7th avenues. For more information,
