DESCRIPTION:ARMY OF NONE: Strategies to Counter Military Recruitment, End War, and 
 Build a Better World"\n\nThursday, December 6th at 7pm\n\n \nChico City 
 Council Conference Room #1 (411 Main Street)\n\n\n\nAimee Allison and David 
 Solinit will be in Chico to discuss their book Army of None. This counter 
 recruitment and antiwar book, written by Army veteran Allison and global 
 justice organizer Solnit, exposes the real story behind the military 
 recruitment complex, and offers guides, tools, and resources for education, 
 action, and people power strategies to win.\n\n\n\nAll are 
 welcome!\n\nbackground info;\n\n\nWhy Army of NONE?? \n\n\n"Uniformed U.S. 
 Army Officers lunch with students in elementary school cafeterias. Army 
 training programs including rifle and pistol instruction replace physical 
 education in middle schools. Like never before, military recruiters are 
 entering the halls of U.S. schools with unchecked access in an attempt to 
 bolster a military in crisis. \n\nEven as these destructive efforts to 
 militarize youth accelerate, so do the creative and powerful efforts of 
 students, community members, and veterans to challenge them. Today, the 
 counter recruitment movement—from counseling to poetry slams to citywide 
 lobbying efforts—has become one of the most practical ways to tangibly 
 resist U.S. policy that cuts funding for education and social programs 
 while promoting war and occupation. Without enough soldiers, the U.S. 
 cannot sustain its empire. \n\nArmy of None: Strategies to Counter Military 
 Recruitment, End War, and Build a Better World exposes the real story 
 behind the military-recruitment complex, and offers guides, tools, and 
 resources for education and action, and people power strategies to win. 
 \n\nAnti-war, global justice and arts organizer DAVID SOLNIT was a main 
 organizer in the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 and in San Francisco the 
 day after Iraq was invaded in 2003. He is the editor of Globalize 
 Liberation: How to Uproot the System and Build a Better World. Army veteran 
 Aimee Allison has led school and community counter-recruitment activities 
 over the last decade. She is a contributor to 10 Excellent Reasons Not to 
 Join the Military. She was recruited out of high school and became a 
 Conscientious Objector to the Gulf War. She actively supports veterans that 
 are healing from their war experiences. \n\nArmy of None: Strategies to 
 Counter Military Recruitment, End War, and Build a Better World is now 
 available from Seven Stories Press. Individual books are available for a 
 $20 donation to Courage to Resist—that's $5 more than the cover price, 
 but that includes all shipping, handling, and tax. \n\nAuthors Aimee 
 Allison and David Solnit will be touring extensively this fall and winter 
 to support counter-recruitment organizing efforts around the United States, 
 and educating students, parents, and young people about the truth behind 
 military recruitment. Please email if you would like them to come to your 
 community. Contact Aimee and David by emailing armynone (at) gmail.com. \n"
