Joining with Broader-Horizons/Counter-Recruiting Prince George's County
Help broaden the horizons of Prince George's County youth beyond those presented by military recruiters.
Our Peace & Justice Coalition, Prince George's County, invites the community to help make sure all its young people understand that today's military is probably not their best ticket to a great future. We have begun this campaign from a concern that military recruiters can too easily sway our youth with half-truths, put forth via manipulative, high-pressure approaches.
We know recruiters rank high on their target
lists our many local youth from minority groups and low-income families—the ones
most prone to an economic draft. We suspect that students who aren’t top
scholars or star athletes seldom hear much about other options for funding college or
career training. But it lies in our power to end this form of discrimination!
