 Militarization of our Schools

The Pentagon is taking over our poorer public schools. This is the reality for disadvantaged youth.

 

What we can do

Corporate/conservative alliances threaten Democracy . Progressives have an important role to play.

 Why does NNOMY matter?

Most are blind or indifferent to the problem.
A few strive to protect our democracy.

NNOMY Volunteer and Internship Inquiries


NNOMY receives occasional requests by individuals who wish to participate in youth demilitarization activism.  There are many ways to contribute to counter military recruitment efforts, or more broadly, youth demilitarization activism. Our volunteers work in close coordination with individuals who carry long-standing experience and deep-rooted commitments in this field. This collaboration requires a careful balance: meeting project deadlines for campaigning and resource development while remaining attentive to the cultural sensitivities and tensions that surround counter militarization work.

You should also make a personal assessment whether your personal skills and temperament can enhance NNOMY's activism. There are many areas of contribution needed from administrative tasks, research and data collection to creative offerings such as authoring articles or providing artistic support for informational graphics and videos for public outreach depending upon your skill level and knowledge of the issues. 

Lastly, use your role contributing to NNOMY to challenge your curiosity and maintain your interest and engagement in the work. This will ensure a more rewarding experience and offer the NNOMY Network a higher quality of resources from your efforts. 
 
Please answer the questions as best you can to offer our staff a clearer understanding of who you are and why you wish to contribute to this essential activism in a time of escalating U.S. militarism.
