Boston Mobilization

The US military is making a stronger push than ever before to recruit our nation's youth. With flashy commericials and unbelievable promises, thousands to high school students are being shipped off to fight. Military recruiters are highly concentrated in high schools across the country and talk with students in cafeterias, hallways, even at commencement ceremonies. The law states that if a school allows recruiters onto their campus, they must extend the same courtesy to counter-recruiters.

MOBE is working with Project Hip-Hop to go into Boston's high schools to educate students about alternatives to military service, the fine-print that recruiters may not tell them, and encourage them to "Opt Out" of the being placed into the national registry that all public schools are required to submit to under the No Child Left Behind Act.
