The Education Not Empire Coalition would like to invite all individuals and organizations opposed to the militarization of youth and the increasing militarization of our society to join us for a "Youth and Miltiarization" themed feeder march on March 19.

Please bring signs, banners, photos, drums, water, snacks, cameras and plenty of friends!

RALLY: 10:30 AM SHARP!
Corporate Headquarters of Leo Burnett***
Corner of Wacker and Dearborn

We will rally outside of the Leo Burnett building for 30 minutes and then be joined by several other feeder marches at 11:00 AM. We will then march together to Wacker and Michigan to meet up with the Palestine Solidarity feeder march. At 11:15 AM the recently combined feeder marches will depart from Wacker and Michigan and march towards the noon rally at Oak and Michigan to join with the rest of Chicagoland in saying NO TO WAR AND OCCUPATION!

With the US economic crisis, young people have limited choices after high school and with the help of racist and misleading advertising campaigns military recruiters prey on the legitimate needs and aspirations of poor, working class and minority youth. The U.S. Army hired Leo Burnett, a multinational advertising agency, in January 2001 to develop a multimedia recruitment campaign for which they've been paid roughly $400 MILLION to depict military life as “fun and adventure.” Burnett's award winning campaign 'An Army of One' uses heavy metal music, video games and slick TV commercials to target Generation Y youth, with special emphasis on African-Americans and Latinos. Leo Burnett is also responsible for the 'Army of One' recruiting displays that many people have seen at the Taste of Chicago, Chicago Blues Festival, Chicago Air & Water Show and other such festivals.
