We Won't Go!
The Truth on Military Recruiters & the Draft.
A Guide to Resistance.

Includes:

The truth behind the military recruiting scam.

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers"- how recruiters target schools and individual students for "ownership."

The role of the military - what recruiters won't tell you. Hear from veterans about the reality behind the sales pitch.

How to organize to challenge, confront, and shut down the recruiting machine.

In this book, you will find practical tools for challenging recruiters, exposing their falsehoods, and getting them out of our schools.

 

We believe:

  • Youth have the right to resist conscription to serve in an illegal war of conquest and occupation. They have a right to refuse to be inducted, to refuse to register, and to defy the Selective Service System and any form of the draft. The government has no right to force youth to fight wars driven by corporate greed and an agenda of global empire.
  • Young people have the right to expose, resist, and drive off military recruiters who come onto their campuses or into their neighborhoods to lie to them and exploit their economic hardship in order to drag them away to fight on behalf of Wall Street. While many people, including ourselves, recognize that the return of the draft is a real possibility, it is also important to realize that there is already an economic draft, that forces youth from disadvantaged communities into the military because of the lack of job training and education. Addressing the issue of military recruiting must also include challenging racism, economic inequality, and all forms of oppression and exploitation.
  • Members of the military have the right to refuse to obey criminal orders to fight in an illegal war of aggression. The antiwar movement has an obligation to support members of the military who resist. We not only support those who resist--we encourage this resistance.

How Can We Stop the Draft?

 

People who oppose the implementation of the draft need to act now to stop it. We cannot rely on politicians; we must be a massive grass-roots movement to say "No Draft! No Way!"

We need to begin now to build this movement. Here are some ways to begin:

  • Organize a local anti-draft group in your community.
  • Download the NoDraftNoWay literature and begin to get the word out in your school, union, place of worship, and workplace.
  • Expose the "Economic Draft" already in place by providing counter-recruiting information to young people and organizing demonstrations outside recruiting centers.
  • Organize local demonstrations at the site of your local Selective Service office.
  • Write letters to members of Congress and the local media expressing opposition to the draft.
  • Donate to help us get the word out.
