Ongoing conflicts today prove that deployment can happen at any time. You owe it to yourself to consider the many alternatives that do not restrict your life options. - Learn more
Parents
Enlisting in the military has been sold for generations as a way to grow up, get a start in life, maybe learn a skill and be part of a noble cause.
If you have kids today, recruiters will tell that familiar story. But today, less and less of it is true. - Learn more
Teachers and community
Based on years of experience in public schools, facilitating student organizations dealing with peace (i.e. peace clubs) in your area can have a transformative impact on student autonomy and school culture around pervasive militarism. Learn more
Who we are
TheNational Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) is a network of organizations that organizes against the militarization of schools and young people in the United States.
NNOMY brings local, regional, and national peace and human rights groups together to connect youth to pathways towards meaningful lives, as alternatives to military enlistment.
"The U.S. military is deeply embedded in public schools, shaping children’s futures long before they’re old enough to understand the consequences — and parents were never meaningfully asked."
NNOMY was founded in the aftermath of the 2004 national counter-recruitment conference "Stopping War Where it Begins" in Philadelphia.[1] It is intended to be a decentralized and flexible structure that helps national, regional and local activists and organizations by promoting communication efforts and by stimulating collaboration between network members. NNOMY organizes actions and campaigns against militarism in order to raise awareness and to increase education on the topic.
The military has maximized its presence and influence in the educational system by seeking the widest possible access to classrooms, school career centers, counseling offices, student records, student newspapers and even elementary school playgrounds.
