Counter-Recruitment Networking Calls
"I feel lighter than I did two hours ago." -- recent call participant
On Earth Peace regularly sponsors national networking calls as an opportunity for networking and mutual support among those working on issues of military recruitment in their communities. 
These calls are a place to connect to a broader community of organizers, a place to receive a boost of inspiration and offer advice, and a place to provide each other with practical tips and spiritual support.
TWO CALLS IN MARCH 2008
Weds, March 124pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern
Thurs, March 13 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern
(Each call will last 90 minutes.)

Here's what you can expect:
- A chance to share about your hopes and experiences about truth-in-recruiting organizing, with others from around the country, including a chance to ask questions and get tips or ideas for your work;
- Christian theological and scriptural reflection on resisting recruitment and offering positive alternatives to youth;
- Highlights of recent resources and new developments in the truth-in-recruiting movement;
- Reflection on themes and common challenges that emerge from the call;
- The introduction of a strategy tool to help make your organizing more powerful. Each call features a perspective or tool that you can use to make your organizing more powerful.
Our calls are especially focused on supporting those working from the basis of Christian faith, although all are warmly welcomed to participate. On Earth Peace is the peace education and action agency of the Church of the Brethren.
There will be eight slots available for each call. We have found it's best to limit the number of participants in order to deepen the sharing and conversation that can take place.
Please send an e-mail to mattguynn @ earthlink.net or call 503-775-1636 to reserve a slot for the next calls!
