Arizona Counter-Recruitment Coalitions' successful action at a valley high school

On Monday November 22, three counter-recruiters took the long drive from Tempe to Agua Fria High School on Dysart and the I-10. About 250 flyers with information against military recruiters and JROTC were handed out. This action was done at the request of three students of Agua Fria who are interested in starting their own counter-recruitment group on campus. Students we met were very receptive to the literature and several students voiced their concerns to us about military recruiters being on campus every week. One student told us she thought recruiters were at Agua Fria a lot because of the large immigrant and minority population at the school. So true.
The action was a success and we even dropped off some literature for the Carl Hayden High School career center on the way home.

The Arizona Counter-Recruitment Coalition has meetings and actions every week. We meet every Sunday night at 7:00pm at Gentle Strength Co-Op. Our web site is http://www.arizonacrc.org and our email is azcrc@riseup.net
