Dear Peace and Justice community activist:
The youth of today need you now more than ever and their is an effective way that you can help. For 7 years this community has stepped up to reach out and serve the youth of San Diego with a message of hope. Letting them know about the wars their leaders bring, but opening their eyes to the truth behind war. At the same time we try to counter the endless barrage of military messages they see and hear on their campuses. Our 7 year high school leafleting project, a committee of the SD Coalition for Peace and Justice, has proven effective. We've passed out 120,000 leaflets all over the county. The students too are engaged in this struggle by leafleting their campuses themselves and forming a coalition called Education not Arms. This coalition successfully removed weapons training at San Diego Unified schools.
Please join us this year! We will be passing out informational flyers and the all important Opt out form. Under no child left behind all student names & personal contact info is given to military recruiters unless the student opts out of this process. The first month of school is a crucial time to reach students with this document.
We will be passing out this information the weeks of Sept. 14th & Sept. 21st. All it takes is about an hour in the morning. We will create teams of volunteers who meet on the public sidewalk outside the school and leaflet in the morning as students enter. We'd like to go to high schools in North County, San Diego, South Bay and East County.
Please contact me by replying to this e-mail or calling the number below. Let me know the region or school of your choice and day(s) of the week that work best for you. Then we'll work to get you connected to a team and provide you all needed info and materials.
I hope you will take a bit of time out of your schedule to help with this worthy and successful committee of SDCPJ!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Jennings
