BOOKS NOT BOMBS!
MILITARY OUT OF SCHOOLS!
STOP THE ARMY OF ONE!
END THE RACIST POVERTY DRAFT!
MONEY FOR EDUCATION, NOT MILITARY INDOCTRINATION!

The Education Not Empire Coalition would like to invite all
individuals and organizations opposed to the militarization of youth
and the increasing militarization of our society to join us for
a "Youth and Miltiarization" themed feeder march on March 19.

Please bring signs, banners, photos, drums, water, snacks, cameras
and plenty of friends!

RALLY: 10:30 AM SHARP!
Corporate Headquarters of Leo Burnett***
Corner of Wacker and Dearborn

We will rally outside of the Leo Burnett building for 30 minutes and
then be joined by several other feeder marches at 11:00 AM. We will
then march together to Wacker and Michigan to meet up with the
Palestine Solidarity feeder march. At 11:15 AM the recently combined
feeder marches will depart from Wacker and Michigan and march towards
the noon rally at Oak and Michigan to join with the rest of
Chicagoland in saying NO TO WAR AND OCCUPATION!

With the US economic crisis, young people have limited choices after
high school and with the help of racist and misleading advertising
campaigns military recruiters prey on the legitimate needs and
aspirations of poor, working class and minority youth. The U.S. Army
hired Leo Burnett, a multinational advertising agency, in January
2001 to develop a multimedia recruitment campaign for which they've
been paid roughly $400 MILLION to depict military life as "fun and
adventure." Burnett's award winning campaign 'An Army of One' uses
heavy metal music, video games and slick TV commercials to target
Generation Y youth, with special emphasis on African-Americans and
Latinos. Leo Burnett is also responsible for the 'Army of One'
recruiting displays that many people have seen at the Taste of
Chicago, Chicago Blues Festival, Chicago Air & Water Show and other
such festivals.
