Counter-recruitment Networks

Counter-recruitment networks are groups and individuals working to provide young people with alternative perspectives to military recruitment, often by sharing realities of service, exposing potential negative impacts, and highlighting other life/career paths, primarily through activities in schools like setting up tables, giving presentations, and organizing against military presence like JROTC. These networks, such as NNOMY and Veterans For Peace, aim to balance recruiters' narratives and ensure informed choices, especially for students in schools targeted for recruitment.

    Web Link Student Peace Action Network (SPAN) - Archive

    In the fall of 1995, a national Student Peace Action Network (SPAN) was initiated to bring the voices of young activists into the forefront of the peace movement. The organizers of the student network recognized that many young activists across the country were making connections between unchecked militarism and the diminishing social services. However, young voices lacked a systematic tool for communication to unify the messages of each young community. While the Student Environmental Action Coalition has built an enormous base of student environmental activists and CampusActivism.net serves as an effective clearinghouse for resources for activists, there was no national network for student Peace and Justice organizing.
