All
Americans have rights; these rights are not exclusive to civilians. If
you are in the military and you have questions about your rights visit
the National Lawyers Guild or print
out one of the fliers on this page.
The phone number for GI Rights Hotline is 1-800-FYI-95GI.
This number is a free, non-governmental hotline for people in any branch
of the military. You can also visit their website
for assistance. For Military and Veterans, we have a very informative document
about the Gulf War Syndrome and other issues.

Another Side Counter Recruitment Program is a project of the Albq. Center for Peace and Justice, the Alliance for Academic Freedom, Military Families Speak Out, and Veterans for Peace.

The project offers speakers and information on
*Other ways to pay for college without military service;
*Other ways to serve your country besides going to war;
*First-hand accounts of war and military service from Veterans who have
served in this current war and other US wars;
*The Draft;
*Conscientious Objection;
*The Invasion and Occupation of Iraq.
Speakers are available to come to events, meetings or high school and college classes. Resource packets that include articles, websites, films, and books are available from Another Side. Call us at 268-9557 or email anotherside@comcast.net
