 Calling all Maine youth to counter militarism. A new opportunity for youth to counter militarism in Maine is launching. The Maine War Tax Resistance, WTR Resource Center, is convening youth-directed groups in Portland and across the state to focus on a variety of issues facing young people today, such as militarism of the police, where the taxes go when we start working, school privacy and militarization, the school-to-jail cycle, and poverty-to-military cycle and access to non-violent jobs. The issues the youth and militarism groups will address are not limited to those listed above. The groups organized will choose their own direction once they convene. This is a great opportunity to build leadership skills, learn about academic and job opportunities, build your portfolio for college and your resume for jobs. If you are a young person in or out of college or high school or a community group that would like to participate, please contact the Maine WTR Resource Center 207-221-2818 or by email at MaineWTR at gmail.com. The Maine WTR Resource Center has operated Maine for 30 years.
