[Peace-discuss] Counter-recruitment? [laurie.nobilette@gmail.com: Catholic Workers]

[C. G. Estabrook]

In fact, AWARE has had an active Anti-Recruitment Working Group (ARWG) for some 
time.  Mort Brussel and Durl Kruse have spear-headed it (so to speak), and Mort 
has spoken to local high school officials on the matter recently.

I think our ARWG should liaise (horrible verb, but you know what I mean) with 
the CW folks who want to work on this. Perhpas Karen and Conrad, with their 
contacts with VVAW could be part of the conversation.  --CGE
