 CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR DAY  For over 20 years May 15 has been celebrated as 
  International Conscientious Objectors Day. Each  year activities are 
 focused in a country where war  objectors are being harassed or persecuted. 
  This year  the international focus is on the United States'  denial of the 
 right of soldiers to object.  Conscientious Objectors, GI resisters and 
 dissent  within the military deserve our support as they stand  up for 
 human rights and dignity, democratic rights,  and international law. 
 Widespread public support and  pressure can help protect these courageous 
 individuals  from feelings of isolation and from repression of them  and 
 their rights. This year coordinated activities are  being planned in the 
 U.S. in New York, Washington DC  and the SF Bay Area.  PEOPLE POWER CAN END 
 THE WAR  This mobilization is in support of ongoing campaigns  to support 
 GI objectors, resist military recruitment  and a possible draft, and end 
 the war and occupation  in Iraq and global policies of empire. While the  
 government wages war and occupation abroad, it also  sponsors a domestic 
 war at home, including  attacks on immigrant rights, and cuts in education, 
  healthcare, and housing. This action is part of a  people power strategy 
 to assert our power to end the  war ourselves by supporting objectors in 
 the military  and cutting off the supply of recruits.  Supported by: 
 Grandmothers Against the War, CodePink,  Int'l Capoeira Angola Foundation 
 Oakland, Not in Our  Name, Not Your Soldier, Act Against Torture   
 Initiated by:  Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (CCCO)
