From Gaza to Iran, Rise of Conscientious Objectors Marks U.S. Soldiers’ “Shift in Consciousness”

With thousands more U.S. Marines headed to the Middle East and President Trump reportedly considering a ground invasion of Iran, we speak with Mike Prysner, executive director of the Center on Conscience and War, who says his organization has received a massive increase in inquiries from soldiers seeking to submit conscientious objector applications. Prysner cites a “shift in consciousness” among young people in the United States, spurred by the Gaza genocide. “And the military is made up of young people in the United States.”

I support #DraftDodgers if they're doing so because they don't believe in wars & want to work at creating more peace.
I don't support draft dodgers who don't work at creating peace & send others to sacrifice their lives for dirty, illegal wars - like the current PedorapistPOTUS.

Today in Labor History February 12, 1947: 60 anti-draft demonstrators burned their draft cards in New York City during an antiwar demonstration. Between 400 and 500 veterans and conscientious objectors from World Wars I and II burned their draft cards in two demonstrations, in front of the White House in Washington and at the Labor Temple in New York City, in protest of a proposed universal conscription law. Civil Rights organizers James Peck, Bayard Rustin and A.J. Muste helped organize the anti-draft protests.
