  • Thursday, March 18, 5:30pm - 7:00 PM. The military's main mission is to conduct war. It's ticket to success is finding young men and women with limited opportunities. High schools and underserved neighborhoods are the bread and butter for recruiters. On March 18th, Parent Teacher Conference Night at NYC high schools, volunteers will be at high schools distributing information about the Opt-Out form and student's privacy rights, truth in recruiting, and non-military options and alternatives to life after high school. Join us in this effort to provide needed information to families and students. Contact us at grannypeace@gmail.com.

    Children need smart toys, not war, toys. The Granny Peace Brigade takes this message to Target in Brooklyn for a grass-roots, granny-powered consumer education project. A U.S. Army veteran with a 4-year-old son tells of his concern that he will be unable to counteract the messages of war directed at his son by movies, television and our government.)
