The Yinzer's Guide to Countering Military Recruitment in Pittsburgh
The war is wrong, so lets end it. Militarism is a threat to peace, so lets oppose it. Recruiters prey on the young and uninformed, so lets open people’s eyes. The rich and powerful count on others to fight for them, so lets disappoint them.
In April 2005, Pittsburgh Organizing Group launched a local campaign to counter military recruitment in Pittsburgh. From 40 pickets outside our local recruiting station, to direct actions that have shut the station down, CR presentations and skill shares in other cities, visits and other educational outreach at local high schools, the distribution of tens of thousands of flyers, a petition to restrict access of military recruiters at area schools, and actions that confronted recruiters on campuses and in the streets we are working to take on the local manifestations of the war. We invite you to join us!
