Military Recruiter in School | Grandmothers for Peace | Conscientious Objectors Group | Food Democracy Alliance | Alternative Energy Military Recruiters in the SchoolsWe are parents, relatives and community members who are concerned about the presence of the military in our middle and high school campuses. Our purpose is to counter the military presence, including recruiters, JROTC, and speakers, in our high schools. Recruiters make many false promises!. Our children deserve to know what they are signing up for and what alternatives for college funding and careers exist BEFORE they enlist. We plan to accomplish this by having concerned adults and students learn the facts and information, so we can present the alternatives to our young adults. To keep your records out of the hands of recruiters and protect personal information from the Pentagons illegal data base, click on the following links: opt out form for schools, and opt out info form for the data base. Grandmothers for PeaceThis is a local chapter of Grandmothers For Peace International, which began in 1982. Each chapter decides what their aims and activities will be; emphasis may be placed on protests — e.g., nuclear testing, the School of the Americas, etc. — or making up kits of supplies for the children in Iraq. The mission statement for GFP is "To create a world of peace for this, and future, generations." You don't have to be a biological grandmother to join, just be concerned about leaving a better world for "the grandchildren." Our local group began in March 2004. Our focus is on positive actions that will bring awareness to the community and inspire action. The members who attend the meetings will decide and plan future actions. Our meetings are held at the PCNC office on the first Tuesday of each month, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. To receive notification of meetings and activities, send an e-mail to grannies4peace@hotmail.com with your e-mail address.
