Ban Weaponized Drones From the World
Meticulous researchers have documented that U.S. drones are killing many innocent civilians in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere. Drones are making the world less stable and creating new enemies. We're going to ban weaponized drones from the world.
Support H.R. 392: Student Privacy Protection Act
Tell your Congressional Representative that you want military recruiting efforts to honor the privacy rights of our children and their families. The No Child Left Behind Act requires public schools to divulge students' personal information to military recruiters without their parents' consent. The Student Privacy Protection Act will change this military recruiting practice from an “opt-out” to an “opt-in” program. This simple change would ensure that schools do not divulge students' personal information to military recruiters unless their parents explicitly consent to such a release.
This bill was introduced on January 23, 2013 and was referred to committee. It has 11 co-sponsors. You can track the bill at GovTrack.Us. Representative Peter Welch has not signed on to support the bill. Consider contacting him today!
Take action against Military Sexual Trauma (MST)
Ask your Senators to support Senator Gillibrand's Military Justice Improvement Act (MJIA).
Recently, the Associated Press revealed never-before-seen documents indicating that most individuals found to have committed sex crimes on US military bases in Japan do not serve time in prison. The inconsistency with which these crimes were handled was characterized as "chaotic." In some cases, the only punishment was a letter of reprimand. This treatment of sexual assault by the military justice system cannot continue.
Please contact your senators and ask them to support MJIA, and then ask them to share their message of support among colleagues. Our troops deserve justice. Contact information HERE.
