The “I Will Not Kill” campaign aims to:

  · affirm the right of conscientious objection and support the right of people to have a           choice whether or not to serve

  · oppose a future draft

  · encourage those who are targeted by recruiters to check out the reality of the military

  · raise awareness of resistance to war and share the ideas with other youth

  · educate high school and college age youth about the impacts of and alternatives to war

  · dismantle the selective service system and promote a culture of life
