National Student Counter-Recruitment Conference October 22-23 at UC-Berkeley Sponsored by the Campus Antiwar Network

The last year has seen an amazing surge of counter-recruitment efforts on campuses across the country - with students kicking recruiters off campuses from Seattle Central Community College and UC-Santa Cruz on the West Coast, to Southern Connecticut State University and City College of New York on the East Coast, and a whole host of schools in between.

Students have found myriad ways of taking the military to task for the lies it tells us, for the bigotry of its 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy, and most of all, for asking our generation to become cannon fodder in an occupation the majority of Americans oppose. As young people increasingly reject being recruited, according to Major General Michael Rochelle, the US Army's recruiting commander, "Today's conditions represent the most challenging conditions we have seen in recruiting in my 33 years in this uniform."

It's time for students to figure out how to take this movement even further. This October, join hundreds of college and high school students from around the country as we discuss and debate the future of this movement -- and plan to reclaim our schools from recruitment for an unjust war.
