The military recruiters’ training manual says “school ownership is the goal.” Not if we can help it! Counter recruiters from Los Angeles to New York and Florida to Seattle have changed school board policies to protect students from military recruiters. Come hear how we did it. What worked and what didn’t. Learn what pitfalls to watch out for and share creative solutions to bureaucratic problems.

Presenters: Judy Alves, Nancy Howell, Amy Wagner
