Coalition Against Militarism in Our Schools (CAMS)

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Together as students, teachers, parents, and people, we aim to demilitarize our schools! Let them be a place for learning and growing, not for enlisting and leaving. We promote positive alternatives and resources. You can visit our website www.militaryfreeschools.org or call 626-799-9118. Also, for information on careers, jobs, college money and more, visit www.projectgreatfutures.org

My Interests

WHERE OUR INCOME TAX MONEY GOES:"Current military” includes: Dept. of Defense ($653 billion), the military portion from other departments ($150 billion), and an additional $162 billion to supplement the Budget’s misleading and vast underestimate of only $38 billion for the “war on terror.” “Past military” represents veterans’ benefits plus 80% of the interest on the debt.* (RESOURCE: http://www.warresisters.org/piechart.htm)

I'd like to meet:

students, teachers, artists, activists, organizers, anyone who wants to help us move forward
