- STOP THE MILITARY RECRUITERS!
Calling all youth, students and organizations
On October 7th, the second anniversary of the bombing of Afghanistan, the Not In Our Name Youth Network initiated a campaign calling on youth and students to take a stand against the military recruiters. As the US Government's war and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan continue, the recruiters have become even more aggressive in targeting us in our schools and communities, as well as on the airwaves. Increased ads on MTV and BET, as well as in magazines and billboards, are meant to complement recruitment efforts on campuses, creating an environment of militarism, which cannot be ignored or avoided.

- GI Special - news from the front lines The GI Special includes letters from troops, articles off the newswire and a variety of other publications.
Here you can find a cohesive, concise collection of reports from Iraq about the ongoing resistance - the resistance of the Iraqis towards their occupiers AND of the occupying GIs towards the military brass who put them in Iraq.
The GI Special cannot be found anywhere else on the web! It is a valuable resource for activists looking to better understand the situation in Iraq and learn about the resistance on all sides. (08/18/03)
