SUMMARY:New Draft Law Passed: People of Conscience Get Ready
DESCRIPTION:Quaker author Curt Torell will explain recent legal changes in draft registration and outline steps for conscientious objectors to war to respond. Then the group will self-organize next steps for mutual support and counsel. Everyone is welcome. \nJoin in-person or on Zoom at the following Meetinghouses: \n\nMontclair Meeting (289 Park St\, Upper Montclair\, NJ 07043): April 26\, 1:00 – 3:00 pm\nOld Chatham Meeting (539 Co Rd 13\, Old Chatham\, NY 12136): May 3\, 1:00 – 3:00 pm\nBrooklyn Meeting (110 Schermerhorn Street Brooklyn\, NY 11201): May 11\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm\n\nIn the session\, we’ll consider together questions such as: What is conscience? Is your conscience troubled? How do you act on conscience? Who is a conscientious objector? \nFor context\, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed at the end of last year will make federal Selective Service draft registration automatic for all men aged 18-25 starting in December 2026. The US Government wouldn’t bother doing this if they didn’t plan to use it. Unfortunately\, a person cannot file a conscientious objection claim until getting an induction notice once a draft is instated\, sometimes giving less than 10 days to respond. Are you\, your family\, and your faith community prepared? \nRegister at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKVvzB5SN6xYufRrPGDA21ffRnGfIi1ApOQT7GSpF9bV5uUA/viewform.
