The U.S. funding of Israel’s war in Gaza has given students across the country a reason to question the presence of military programs in their high schools.

Many do not want to participate in a service that they believe is tied to a government complicit in “ethnic cleansing” and that has caused the deaths of many innocents, including non-combative women and children.

The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) is providing a packet of resources to inform those who wish to act against military programs that serve the purpose of military recruitment in schools.

Another response from the NYC ethics class following Dean's visit: "…Talks like this make me think about what is right and wrong about getting people to join the military and why we should be careful about what we read in the news. This taught me how important it is to learn more about the real costs of war and to think about the things in society that keep violence going…" Read more here.

NNOMY says enough. War No More.
The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth will push in this new decade to raise awareness about the connections between cultural militarization and social and environmental destruction.

For this last week of 2022 and extending into 2023, NNOMY will promote that those who are tired of our perpetual wars support the efforts of those activists that are asking our youth not to contribute any longer to this dangerous and destructive permanent war economy and divest of their bodies and seek out Peaceful Career Alternatives to start their lives.

And we ask those who wish to see a change in direction in our economy to support our efforts by contributing financial support to assist NNOMY's outreach and campaign development.
You can do that by entering our Secure donation portal at our fiscal sponsor

Sgt. Abe guides you through the enlistment agreement of the U.S. Armed Forces – pointing out many snares along the way, which most recruiters don't talk about. A great resource for anyone interested in military service, or anyone having second thoughts about the Delayed Enlistment Program.

Thanks to you, our supporters, we have had another productive year, without charging any fee to any school! Seven veterans engaged in discussion with some 1000 students, presenting their stories filled with information about the U.S. military and wars of aggression most students had never been exposed to before. We went to 24 schools making presentations in 50 classes.
