[SDCPJ] Fwd: last minute counter recruitment work

Greetings high school outreach activists:

I apologize for the last minute request but the new school year snuck up on me!  

We did great work together last year passing out over 16,000 leaflets educating students about the war in Iraq and the recruiters lies.  From this work grew an active coalition of students, teachers and parents called the Education Not Arms Coalition.  This group gathered thousands of signatures on a petition to the school board, testified regularly at the school board & students held sit ins and walk outs.  Check out this link for more details on this work.


From this coalition came the growing knowledge of students being placed into JROTC without requesting it.  Starting on monday, students will be registering at Mission Bay high school and we want to give them all flyers letting them know that they don't have to take JROTC if they don't want it.  

Therefore, I'm sending out a last minute request to see if anyone can come to Mission Bay high for any amount of time Monday - Thursday.  I will have someone meet you there with the flyers.  Just let me know if you would like to leaflet, what day and for what period of time and I'll coordinate it with you.  (EG: Tues. 9-10:30 etc...)

With the last minute notice we appreciate any time you might give.
