Madison Veterans For PeaceVeterans for Peace has been an important contributor to the history of counter-recruitment groups and individuals raising public concerns about the culturally militarizing effect that Pentagon recruitment efforts have on our youth. VFP speaks with authority to young people from personal experience and unapologetically raise their voices against the moral corruption of our war making complex.

Below are links to examples of VFP/Counter-recruitment around the country and an article archive of VFP community outreach related to demilitarization of our communities and schools:

Counter-recruitment and the Campaign to Demilitarize Public Schools

Scott Harding and Seth Kershner are the authors of a new book, Counter-recruitment and the Campaign to Demilitarize Public Schools (Palgrave Macmillan). Drawing on dozens of interviews with activists conducted between 2012 and 2014, their book describes the various tactics used to demilitarize public schools in the United States.  They also discuss case studies of successful organizing and advocacy to challenge the presence of military programs in educational settings.

Planning is Underway for Armistice Day 2018!

One hundred years ago the world celebrated peace as a universal principle.  The first World War had just ended and nations mourning their dead collectively called for an end to all wars.  Armistice Day was born and was designated as “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated."

After World War II, the U.S. Congress decided to rebrand November 11 as Veterans Day. Honoring the warrior quickly morphed into honoring the military and glorifying war. Armistice Day was flipped from a day for peace into a day for displays of militarism.
