Urge NYC Council Members to Ban Military Recruitment in High Schools

Brooklyn Councilmembers Charles Barron, Yvette D. Clarke, and Annabel Palma have proposed Intro 680 that would ban military recruiting in New York City public schools. This bill has been referred to the Council's Education Committee whose members include Brooklyn Councilmembers:
• Bill DiBlasio
• David Yassky
• Dominic M.Recchia, Jr.
• Al Vann

Please ask them to:
• support or co-sponsor this bill
• Ask Education Committee Chair Eva S. Moskowitz to hold a hearing in the near future on this important legislation.

We also recommend that you contact yourCity Council representative and ask him or her to:
• Hold a town meeting on how the District has been affected by the costs of the occupation of Iraq and the calling up of the NYS National Guard
• Publicize the impact of the occupation of Iraq on the District in his/her constituent newsletter.
