UTI YOUTH launch a new Zine about antirecruitment!

After months talking with other organizations, students, the UTI youth group has put together a fantastic zine about recruiting and the dream act.

The zine tries to be a fast reader and an starting point for deeper conversations and hopefully frame a dialogue about military tactics to recruit color and poor students.

Here are both editions (Spanish and English) we are working in a final version, please take a look and tell us what you think (any feedback, comments, corrections, critics, etc).

Our position on the military is clear; we think recruiters and the military as a whole lies to our people and hypocritically targets poor and disfranchise young people to fill the rank and files of the corporate war machine.

About the Dream Act we support any positive aspect of the bill. However, there is not one line about increasing public education, especially in the poor neighborhoods, there is not one line about give us access to public grants, and this alone makes the military option versus the college one more practical and appealing.

We have to be very clear that our right to become citizens cannot come to the price to go to the military, this is not the Dream our youth deserves.
