The rally was organized by the Raleigh Counter-Recruiting Coalition, an organization made up primarily of high school students. Over 100 people attended, 80 percent of them youth. Speakers included Elena Everett of Raleigh FIST and the Green Party; Dustin Langley, a Navy veteran and counter-recruitment activist for the International Action Center (IAC); and Stan Goff of Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace.
