From 1997 to 2019, we did direct outreach in the public high schools in Austin, Texas as an alternative to military recruitment in the schools. We are committed to the use and advocacy of nonviolence. Our group has included students, teachers, activists, veterans and parents. We're on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SOYPeaceOptions

Pull-ups 4 Peace at Reagan HS
We were glad to make a return visit to Reagan HS today. We tabled just outside the cafeteria doors during their single lunch period. This was TAKS testing week, and it felt like students and teachers were happy to put that behind them. Students tried out the pull-up bar. Top number for chins among students (men and women tried it) was 11, I believe. Hart did 17! Hey -- Peacebuilding keeps him PeaceStrong!
We were told about Reagan's student/community garden, which is beautiful -- and will be included in Austin's Community Garden Tour this weekend.
