Organizations and Web sites that can provide more information.

The Central Committee of Conscientious Objectors (CCCO); www.objector.com

CCCO has a Military Out of Our Schools program which seeks to balance the JROTC recruiting. It also has a Third World Outreach Program that specifically addresses counter-recruitment issues in communities of color.

Most of CCCO’s literature can be downloaded from the website. Literature includes, for example, an organizing kit with comprehensive materials for counter-recruitment in high schools, a flyer discussing questions and answers about draft registraion.
