This article offers a case study of the militarization of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS). First, we portray the landscape of militarization of education through the example of Chicago Public Schools. Second, we situate the militarization of schools within the current charter school movement. Third, we explain the impact of militarization on youth and critique the view that military academies and military programs are appropriate as public education models. Fourth, with a lengthy appendix, we provide readers with tools to work against the militarization of public schools within their communities. | Last revision 9/14/2022

The Alliance for Global Justice is a tax-exempt non-profit under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. As such, donations to projects of the AFGJ are fully tax-deductible on the donor’s federal income tax. For an Administrative Fee of 8% for check and online donations, the Alliance for Global Justice offers fiscal sponsorship for grassroots non-profits which agree with our Vision and Mission Statements but do not have their own 501(c)(3) status, thus making donations to those projects tax-deductible to the donor as well.

Twenty years of war in Afghanistan have exposed the horrific costs of war and made it crystal clear that war on Afghanistan and Iraq was the wrong response to 9/11. Now that the public has seen the senselessness of spending over $21 trillion on the "war on terror," we must seize this moment and do what the peacemakers have been calling for: ✂️ Cut the Pentagon for the People, Peace, and Planet.

United for Peace and Justice has counter-recruitment as one of its seven issue-specific campaigns. Mennonite Central Committee[57] is another resource on the subject.

EWOB acts as an umbrella organization for educators and students to do research and teach in their local communities and abroad. Take Action Now is the time to Cut the Pentagon for the people, planet, peace and a future! The Military & Draft Counseling Project serves as a community resource on issues related to military service and military enlistment, the military draft and conscientious objection. We promote alternatives to militarism and military recruitment in schools and, to that end--we engage in public education, community outreach, and the lobbying of public officials. We are an all-volunteer organization, and we charge no fees for our services, but we gladly accept donations. The Military & Draft Counseling Project works in cooperation with a network of National and local organizations, including War Resisters League (WRL), American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the Center on Conscience and War (CCW), the National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY), and Project YANO.

The world spent $1.98 trillion on the military in 2020*, a 2.6% increase over the previous year and the highest figure since the end of the Cold War. Our governments’ ever-growing military capacities, in the name of national security, have proved themselves completely useless to defend people from the COVID-19 pandemic, nor can they keep us safe in the face of other global emergencies such as climate change. In addition, as the victims of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere can testify, militarism makes conflicts worse rather than resolving them. | Last revision 9/14/2022

Winning the Peace is a new national counter-recruitment effort in the works at NNOMY, produced in partnership with Project YANO and the National War Resisters’ League. It is our response to what we have seen as an increase in military integration in our public high schools and, more importantly, a shutting out of counter-recruitment services in those same campuses. This trend is alarming; the shutting out of such a resource as counter-recruitment organizations takes away crucial information from a student who will be deciding whether or not to enlist. As we know, the consequences of that decision can amount to signing away decades of their life as well rights, a fact they may not be aware of. | Last revision 9/14/2022

Governments and other military actors around the world target youth and other vulnerable communities for military recruitment and service. Simultaneously, the militarisation of public spheres such as space and culture promote the acceptance of the prioritising of military capability and approaches. In response, human rights organizations and other campaigners have developed innovative ways of combating increasing militarisation. Practitioners are exploring ways to utilize international mechanisms to support the right to conscientious objection - one of the most visible ways of rejecting militarisation. Other practitioners are working to stop the disproportionate targeting of vulnerable communities for military recruitment, such as youth and people of lower income, by raising the awareness of cultural recruitment and creating “military-free schools”. | Last revision 9/14/2022

Today, less than 0.5% of the U.S. population serves in the armed forces, compared with more than 12% during World War II. Very often, the public's perception of the military lifestyle is limited to what they’ve seen on the news, TV, or video games.
Recruiters are salespeople, plain and simple. They undergo extensive sales training and are judged by their superiors primarily upon the number of recruits they sign up. Sign up large numbers, and they’re judged to be a good recruiter. Fail to sign up the minimum number assigned (known as "making mission"), and a recruiter is looking at a dead-end career. This policy pressures some recruiters to adopt unethical practices in order to "make mission." As veterans we know the truth of what happens in war and VFP members across the U.S work with young people before they enlist, to help them understand what it’s really like to be part of the U.S. military. | STUDENTS | ACTIVE G.I.s | MEMBERS & CHAPTERS | Last revision 9/14/2022
