Military Recruitment Report: Third Edition We’re proud to announce the third edition of our Military Recruitment Report, the only report of its kind in New England. This report is an analysis of public records requests in the 2016-2017 academic year to all the public high schools in Western Massachusetts. From this information, we are able to get a sense of the extent that the military has a presence in our public high schools, and the effort that schools make to reduce that presence.

National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service (NCMNPS) For the first time in decades, a Federal commission is holding open-mike public hearings throughout the USA and soliciting written submissions from the public on whether draft registration should be ended or extended to women as well as men; whether there should be a draft of people with medical or other special skills regardless of age or gender; whether a draft would be "feasible" (it wouldn't, because so many people haven't registered with the Selective Service System, have moved without notifying the SSS, and/or would resist if drafted); and related issues. The Commision's next public event will be at Cal State University, Los Angeles, on Thursday, 20 September 2018. The deadline for written comments has been extended through 30 September 2018. You can submit comments though this Web form or by e-mail to "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.", mentioning "Docket No. 05-2018-01" in the subject line of your e-mail message. Find out More |

War: A Women's Issue The reasons that the Women's March on the Pentagon is a women's march are many. Not only is there a historical precedent for a women-led antiwar march, women from all walks of life, from countries that have both been victims of and aggressors in conflict, from past generations or those living today, are adversely affected by war at far a greater rate than men. These claims are supported by statistics though those same statistics and realities of war are often swept under the rug or excused as necessary collateral damage. It is time for all victims of war to be acknowledged and for the victimization of women to end. Read More |
