This year United Voices/ Beats for Peace along with Recruiter Watch PDX,
Vets for Peace Chapter 72, PDX Peace Coalition, Global Fam, 45th Parallel
Universal Zulu Nation Oregon Chapter, community members and volunteers have
partnered up to get all high school students to Opt Out.
We have assembled street teams from the community to conduct OPT OUT actions at
local high schools to encourage all students to Opt Out.
Military recruiters target youth using demographics based on personal and
private information such as income status, GPA, etc. but by signing the Opt
Out form, their information will not be included into the Pentagons
database.
On Friday September 14th, we are hosting
Youth Action Rally Hip Hop Show & BBQ
3pm-7pm-Free for All
@ Glenhaven Park next to Madison High School.
We need all of the help we can get, especially with turn out for the main
event. This is a free family friendly event.
Please invite all from your communities to enjoy positive hip hop, B-Boys/
B-girls, information and literature, interactive art displays and live
graffiti art.
If you have any ideas as of how you can help or need more information,
please contact me or Pam Phan at  pphan@afsc.org
We will be following up next week.
Thank you.
