Raising Conscientious Objector Consciousness Among Our Youth

COMPILED BY CURT TORELL AND ALICE CARLTON, ON BEHALF OF CHAPEL HILL MEETING

Brief Description:
In our current political climate reinstituting a draft for military service no longer seems implausible. Currently registration is required for young men and the process does not allow for declaring CO status. This manual for young Friends carefully considers the issues involved, the law and Quaker practice. It guides the young person and the meeting community through information gathering, decision making and follow-up needed to support CO status.
