The Orange County Recruitment Awareness Project (OC-RAP) is proud to present the first ever regional activist workshop for the counter-military recruitment cause (C-R). Like groups up and down California, we are working to uncover and eradicate militarism in our public schools where our children go to learn and grow. Our work is especially important in light of the on-going U.S. occupation of Iraq.
Please post to appropriate listservs by copying-and-pasting the text at the end of this email. Forward to any free-agent activists you know who'd be interested in learning more about the C-R cause, what it means for today's peace movement, and how to get involved.
Note that we require advance registration. When you rsvp, please include the following: name, email, phone, organization you're affiliated with, and no. of persons attending. Once we receive your reservation, we will reply with a map, parking information, and any other instructions to make your time with us well-spent!
Last but not least, let us know if your organization would be interested in tabling at our all-day event. Due to limited space, we will invite those organizations that are pro-student and C-R related, e.g. pro-peace, anti-war.
With your help & participation, our regional training in counter-recruitment is going to be successful and have positive far-ranging effects for our children & our Orange County communities. Let's demilitarize our schools and give our students the tools to live long & prosper!
Respectfully yours,

The military is using our schools to propagandize young people and recruit them to invade and occupy other countries. As the fighting goes on, our schools and culture become more militarized, low-income communities suffer, and money for education disappears.
We've had enough! ?Ya no!
What the workshop will include: an orientation on existing activities and information needed to work effectively against military recruiting and the militarization of schools.
Who should attend: high school students, college students, teachers, parents, others who want to counter military recruiting and resist militarism in our schools.
