Who are we?
 

The Northwest Suburban Peace & Education Project formed in the spring of 2005. We are people that live and work in the northwest suburbs. Many of us have children in the public schools. As parents and community members we are all concerned about the role of the military in our schools.

 

Through our personal connections we have gained access to several local high schools. We set up a table in the commons area during the lunch periods and talk to the students about their options. Our purpose is not to talk the students out of joining the military. We are not anti-military. We simply want to make sure that our young people have thought through what they are doing.

We meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month at the South Church, 501 South Emerson in Mount Prospect at 7:00 PM.
