Hello Everyone!

I have to give a huge thanks to

Melissa Corrigan, she/her

for putting together a wonderful reference list to help people who wish to become conscientious objectors:

https://www.counterstorymedia.com/co

Please copy that and share that everywhere.

In this video we discuss:

How to apply to become a conscientious objector
How to protect yourself if you’re given an unlawful order
What demonstrators have to remember to prevent conflict
What those of us who are observing can do to help diffuse the situation

Above all we have to remember that we’re all Americans and we can’t allow nefarious forces to provoke us into destructive action.

As is usually the case, education is one of our main tools. If you’re feeling anxious and afraid (as I am), Melissa does a wonderful job of providing you with good resources so you can empower yourself. The more you know about your rights and the organizations out there to support you, the better you’ll feel.

Don’t stew in your anxiety, talk to people. Talk to your friends and relatives in the military, talk to your neighbors, talk to your representatives. Take videos and record what’s happening because we know that those responsible for any wrongdoing are gong to try to erase the evidence. They can’t erase 10,000 downloaded videos that show what they did.

Above all, let’s keep in mind that we’re all Americans. We all want to preserve and protect our country. We’ll do that peacefully and lawfully, not with brute force.

Again, don’t forget to share this important message! Make sure you reference Melissa’s resource page!

Thank you
