Join us!

Latino recruitment is up 22% since the beginning of the Iraq war. In spite of this, one of the nation's most established Latino organizations, LULAC -- the League of United Latin American Citizens -- is helping the military suck more latino youth into the war machine. How? Recruiters will be at their national JOB FAIR FOR YOUTH!!!!

CAMi -- Comité Anti-Militarización -- has planned a protest and press conference on Friday, July 13th at 10:30 am to call LULAC and military recruiters out for their bogus agenda. LULAC has caught wind of our plans and they are freaking out a bit. They've even offered us a speaking position to stop our protest!

But don't worry!! We won't sell out!

LULAC's event is another sad example of our own people selling us out. At the Puerto Rican Parade in June, the recruiters had prominent booths, huge soldier images on stage and even recruiters speaking from the stage!

The armed services has relaxed their entrance standards to be a new soldier. They did this because their recruitment numbers have been declining.

WE REFUSE TO BECOME CANNON FODDER IN THEIR IMPERIALIST WARS!

WE REFUSE TO SILENTLY STAND BY AS OUR YOUTH ARE SUCKED INTO THE MILITARY!

WE DEMAND SOLIDARITY IN STOPPING WARS OF AGGRESION AND IMPERIALISM!
